I need to repot and reposition my monstera. I bought a moss pole but does anyone have any tips or tricks to repot / reposition monsteras around a moss pole?

Go slow, give yourself lots of time. And don’t be afraid to get done, hate it, and then rip it all apart again and start over. Sometimes more than once 🤪

make sure to locate the front and back of each vine so you can place the support correctly. there’s lots of helpful videos online.

Hi Jaymee! No worries at all! Love your monstera! Mine thrived in more direct light. Once I moved it closer to a window, the leaf splits doubled!

I did that and the leaves burned, even though it’s an east facing window and only gets the morning sun. Do they like to be root bound? Could it be possible that it has too much space?
