# Am I past the point of no return, ya’ll? My monstera is getting so…

_Posted by Nate on 2026-03-19_

Am I past the point of no return, ya’ll? My monstera is getting so top-heavy; I wish I had put her on a moss pole early on.

She’s gettin’ bigger than a house, and I know I’m gonna come home one of these days and find her tipped over on the ground begging for LifeAlert.

What would be y'all's next step in care for this big girl?

Dude those are 2 gorgeous Thai constellations!

I see whatcha mean with the front monstera falling forward… there’s one real remedy and it’s a task but totally doable!

You’re going to have to repot into 2 separate smaller pots (depending on the massive size of each plants individual root system , which you’ll have to carefully separate as well)

I would definitely recommend a moss pole for at least the front monstera, but I would do both!  
Secure the “back” to the moss pole with Velcro and face it towards a window or light.

Then fertilize both right after repotting and it will take about 2-3 months for re-rooting and losing a leaf possibly but they will live much longer and thrive!
