I’ve had my monstera for about 2 years now and it’s grown so much, but the stems are all over the place! Any advice on getting it looking a bit neater and growing upwards?

They love to climb, so you could try a moss pole, or even a trellis and try to train it to grow the way you want it to by tying the stems.
