# Hello! I’m Regina and new to the group. Lucille is in the corner…she…

Hello! I’m Regina and new to the group. Lucille is in the corner…she has gotten so unruly! She was collapsing and she also broke 😢 I know she’s a bit tied up now but I was afraid she’d break again. I hope went sure what to do with her!

It’s hard to tell in the picture, but from what I can see your monstera seems to have multiple stems or plants in one pot. You can either leave them altogether or separate each of them into different pots. I would recommend repositioning them to where the leaves all face the same direction and have the back of the stem tied to the stake.

Thank you…she’s about 4 years old and I repotted when I originally got her. I’d be afraid to separate at this point but I can definitely reposition. Thanks!!🙏🏻

Your welcome!

I would try and remove the coir stake and reposition closer to her. It being that far isn’t really helping support her. Untie her as soon as you can. Not sure if you can propagate any of the broken leaves or not but i would try.

I’ve propagated the broken ones and so far so good. It’s hard to see in the pic but she has a support right alongside her main section. The moss stake is really just there to support outer stems. I almost didn’t put that in there!
