Is it possible / can I stop my monsterra growing any taller, and just to grow thicker?!  
I don’t want to replace the moss pole, just looking for tips and advice on how I can achieve that!!

Thanks in advance 😁

I saw a method to propagate, then place rooted cuttings back in same pot/ new pot they fit together in.

Was going to say this :) just plant multiple vines so they are all climbing up the pole.

i just bought this plant today! is it possible to leave it in just water or will i have to transfer it to soil at some point?

#### KiTierra antwoordde op 2023-08-24

I have some water propagated plants that stay in water for the aesthetic but I change the water frequently and the plants don’t grow as large in water vs soil for me.

Thank you!!

Would you say it’s best to propagate into a vase or glass, wait until roots establish then plant in the pot?

Yes. Or you can stick them in moist soil until roots sprout. Water is usually easier because you can see.
