Hi!! This is my new baby Betsy and she clearly needs some support. I’m looking for advise on where I should put her support(s). It looks like she may be like 4-6 separate plants potted together with their backs all going in different directions? I could be wrong but I’ve added multiple photos. Is there a best spot I should ad the pole? Should I ad multiple? Or should I repot and separate them? Thanks guys!
There is alot of avenues but I would repot the monstera in a pot two inches bigger and see if you can find something to support it like poles, branches, etc. anything you can tie/wrap the monstera around. There are some great videos on youtube
