The photo in the black pot was my monstera last year before the thrips attacked. We successfully got rid of the thrips but she’s not as full as she was before 🙁 I’ve already taken some top cuttings to propagate but I’m really thinking of cutting her all the way back, propagating the rest of the stems and creating a fuller plants again. Anyone cut their monstera all the way back before?
