It would be a little bit of a process but so worth I think! If you look up how to propagate monstera’s YouTube has a lot for it . I would suggest taking what’s called a “top cutting” from this plant , and then propagating and replanting the cutting! Each leaf the monstera pushes out should be more mature and usually bigger than the last one it unfurled . With that said , by restarting the plant and having it start with bigger leaves , it will be a lot easier to care for when it sizes up and have much bigger fuller leaves if all goes right :) the pole for support in the pot on the backside of the plant where the arial roots form is perfect as well. hope this helps!! ☺️
