My monstera Swiss cheese plant is growing well but seems to be tilting to the side. Should I add some type of support in the pot?

I’d add a moss pole. That’s what I’ve done with mine.

0개 좋아요Just know those can be quite a bit of maintenance! It can also root to a plank
0개 좋아요Are you referring to the moss pole when you say “those can be quite a bit of maintenance!”?
0개 좋아요I believe that is what they mean. Moss poles do require a lot of upkeep. You could also use a trellis or start with a small piece of wood.
0개 좋아요Okay great! That was going to be my next question. What else could I use.
0개 좋아요Hmm. I guess I’m doing it wrong then. I just got an extendable “moss pole” from Amazon and stuck it in the pot. Then I loosely tied the plant to the pole with a bit of twine in a few places and let it go. I don’t fiddle with it. When it gets longer, I’ll tie it up a bit more, maybe extend the pole. Other than that, she’s no trouble at all.

0개 좋아요Moss pole these. Its leaves will grow bigger. Especially if you cut it in half every once in a while. The Sydney plant man did a video on it
