# S.O.S. My friend asked for help in bringing his monstera back to…

_Posted by Alex on 2026-02-22_

S.O.S. My friend asked for help in bringing his monstera back to happy, healthy glory but I may be in over my head here and am looking for suggestions.  
He repotted her and we’re moving her off the dark corner hutch she was on and put her next to the window so she doesn’t have to strain but my instincts are to chop, propagate, and start her over.  
That’s what I did with mine when it was struggling and now she’s thriving but he’s hesitant to and pretty attached to trying to keep her intact as much as possible.  
Thank you!

I'd take your own advice to Chop \& Prop on this plant as it is so leggy
