# NEED ADVICE I have 5 growth points on this one base stem that’s been…

NEED ADVICE  
I have 5 growth points on this one base stem that’s been cut multiple times. Can’t decide if I want to cut them off and prop now, wait until it grows a little more to cut and prop or just leave them. Seems like it would be a moss pole nightmare down the road. What do y’all think? New to monsteras so don’t want to do anything drastic lol

I’d let them grow, but I like a nice full monstera 😊

I does look nice and full currently ☺️

I like my plants when they look full. I’d keep them 🪴✨
