# Hi guys!! I’ve had this monstera for over a year now and it’s had…

_Gepostet von Em am 2024-06-28_

Hi guys!! I’ve had this monstera for over a year now and it’s had some crazy growth since I came on this app! But with the growth came extreme leaning because I was not aware of how lopsided it was getting. Does anyone have any tips on how to make the stem stronger? I’ve been trying to turn it from the light to make the leaves grow on the other side/turn; also I have been using just a little stick to hold it up so the stem doesn’t break if it falls! (The photo with the pig in it is the most recent one 😂)!

Thanks so much!

What a beautiful plant!! I love the little pot accessories lol very cute!! Because of the way they grow these will eventually trail/hang down if left alone or you can get a moss pole or support trellis for it to climb up! Just depends on how you want it to look 🤩

Yeah came here to say to say the same, I have been wanting a monstera adansonii to hang up in my house but you could also have something for it to climb up

Moss poles are the way to go. I like using the green Velcro “plant tape” to get the stems to hold. I also use these long wrangler sticks. See my pic
