I finally got myself a Monstera on Sunday. I am so excited to have her!! She was SUPER leany, so I gave her a little moss pole. Can’t wait to see how she grows. Her name is Deli. Any tips for caring for this girl?

Looks great! Be careful using wires to secure it to the pole. Wires can cut or cause abrasions as the plant grows. Use green floral tape. It’s soft and stretches a the plant grows.

Thank you for the tip!! I was worried about that so I made sure not to bound them too tight, so I hope she is okay for now. I’ll look for floral tape this weekend!
