# I just picked up this beautiful Monstera that has some new leaves…

_Posted by Heather on 2023-08-18_

I just picked up this beautiful Monstera that has some new leaves waiting to unfurl and lots of potential for more. She seems to be pretty happy in the nursery pot and no roots are coming out of the bottom, so probably not root bound. I don’t think I need to repot yet, but I’m assuming I should add in a moss pole to climb given how big she is already. So the question is - repot and add a moss pole now or wait until she’s ready to repot?

Hey! If she’s happy i’d say leave her. I personally don’t use a moss pole and don’t have any experience with them so I can’t comment on that part but i do have a big girl like yours. I use these small garden steaks and plant bread tie things
