Do you keep your Thai Constellation on a pole or anything for support? I impulse bought mine from the grocery store and assumed they were climbers but learned they’re actually crawlers (I think lol).

You definitely can. I think it’s less common because they tend to grow large quickly and compactly, so they aren’t as prone to stretching out or falling over as albos tend to be. So from what I understand, Thais are all large form monstera delicosa. But albos tend to be small form (unless you pay a boat load for a large form version). It’s hard to tell the difference between forms, but the biggest give away for me is the space between each leaf node. The thai has very little space between nodes, which helps it support itself without a pole. But if you want yours to grow straight up rather than at an angle, you can use a pole, sturdy cedar plank, or something like that

Here’s an albo in comparison to the thai pic

Thank you for the explanation!

Large form Monsteras are crawlers, small form Monsteras are climbers

You can look up pics online to see the difference

Most Monsteras sold in stores are small form, so they’re climbers

I thought all Thai constellations were large form. 🥴
