Had this incredible Monstera mint arrive today \& was wondering if anyone had any tips for it? Going straight under a grow light with my thai con, but not sure if i should look to stake this or will it happily crawl like my Thai?

I would personally stake it to let those big beautiful fenestrated leaves pop out! :)

i was thinking of getting a coco coir pole as dont fancy the hassle with the moss poles!

I use biobased climbing poles and never had any issues with wooden stakes deteriorating or something like that. And theyre cheaper. :)
