I’m kinda stumped on what to do here. This is my first time owning a monstera and I feel like I have multiple plants in one pot but not sure if I do. The picture of it outside was when I first got it back this March the rest is what it looks like now
Wow!!! You definitely do! I think you might have 3 in there? I got mine from a big box store and they do tend to come in groups for some reason haha I’d wait to separate them if that’s what you are wanting to do. Let it adjust to its new climate for about a month. You can either separate them or repot them so they are all facing the same direction. Looks like you got 3 for the price of one!!!

0 likes I just realised you said you got it in march, whoops! I would do it now to be honest. Just make sure to use soil with good drainage and add a moss pole or some sort of support for it to climb!

I was going to guess three also.
