Can’t believe my eyes this week with this monstera!! So many new starts, 2 new leaves.. this baby has taken off!

4-6 weeks ago, I decided to chop and prop my 5ft monstera plant which left it super leggy and ugly with just 5 leaves at the top. Apparently it’s just what it needed!🥰

It wasn’t easy to do that’s for sure!!! I didn’t wanna chop, but now I’m glad I did!

Wow! I’ve been debating on whether or not to cut my monstera; I’m too nervous. But this is inspiring
