I got my first monstera, MonsterInk 😈, about a week ago. The Planta information says you can give it a support to climb if you want it to grow tall instead of wide. Right now it’s super wide and only has one bamboo stick in it that doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Should I use twine to attach him to this stick and maybe add some other ones, as well? I don’t think there’s enough room in the pot to add a thicker moss pole, and I don’t want to repot him for a while. Thanks ahead of time for your insights! 💚

    You could get a large moss pole or I’ve been just using wooden dowels. In this case you may need a larger wooden plank and then you could secure it onto that. 😊

      Thank you! 🙏 is it okay if I “bunch” the existing branches together? His spread is about four feet, so I’m hoping to contain that a little before I need to get him his own room😀.

      Do you mean like tie them all together? I would do that very loosely but still with Support or use multiple supports

    You can tie it to the pole.
