# Got this big baby at Trader Joe’s for $20 bucks! She has some bad…

_Gepostet von Lolly am 2024-01-29_

Got this big baby at Trader Joe’s for $20 bucks! She has some bad travel damage and perhaps a tiny bit of fungus… plus she is SUPER root bound! She is a large plant though, I don’t have any experience in supporting her. She is long tall and lanky, plus fragile! Not a great combo  
Any help is greatly appreciated😊😊 ( sorry about the mess in the the background )

I have a large monstera that I’ve had for years and I had to start with a bendable moss pole. I was able to slowly get her to grow around the moss pole and that helped change her shape. I have a few of the K-Brands and they’ve been really user friendly.

Ok thanks 😊 I’ll try that!
