# Hello hello!!! I’m new to the plant life and I have this very full…

Hello hello!!! I’m new to the plant life and I have this very full monstera from Menards. It does have lots of suckers. I guess I don’t really know what to do with it. There’s just sooo much information out there my little brain is going to explode. Should I repot and separate them? Should I get something for it to climb? Should I cut the suckers? Should I just leave it alone?!? 🫠🤯 (the blue and green straws are to keep roots from puncturing the neighboring stems)

It’s completely up to you! That’s the fun part about plants.

As far as the “suckers” go, it’s completely an aesthetic preference. Those little leaves are photosynthesizing and contributing to the plant. But if you don’t like the look of them, trim them off! The plant doesn’t care.

For separating the individual plants, also a personal preference. Do you want a more full-looking plant with lots of leaves? Leave them together. Do you want bigger leaves over time? Separate them (because they won’t be competing with each other for nutrients, so this typically results in bigger leaves)

Moss pole - this is also up to you! I recommend watching the YouTube channel Sydney Plant Guy if you want to learn more about sphagnum moss poles. Sphagnum moss poles are a bit of work, but this will get the “best” out of your plant.

You could also give it a stake or something else to climb that doesn’t require any maintenance the way a moss pole does. But you don’t have to give it anything to climb at all if you don’t want to! Monsteras are fine with “crawling”, it just means that it’ll require a larger pot. If you give it a sphagnum moss pole, you don’t need as large of a pot because it’ll grow roots into the pole.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved a stranger so much 😂 I appreciate all that information more than you know!! Thank you ❤️ I know exactly what I want to do now it’ll just be a drawn out process and I’m definitely okay with that!
