Any advise welcomed . When I got my first monstera over a year ago (off marketplace) she looked leggy and maybe even damaged at the bottom? (See pics) I’ve struggled to train her on a moss pole, first time monstera and trying out moss poles in general. I think she’s looking great now with the growth, but I honestly hate how she looks at the bottom. I’ve contemplated doing a chop and prop starting her over, but where would I even do that since I don’t really see nodes and she’s not really growing aerial roots down there? I don’t want to risk losing it if it’s not really necessary or too risky. Her bottom roots are just so far down on this long leafless stem. I had to do a deeper pot just to hold her up right. Take a look and let me know what you guys think. Thank you

    her nodes are quite funky, but i've drawn them out here. i think chop and prop is your best bet here. aerial roots don't really matter, they just speed things up. chop for two nodes per cutting, let callous for a day, and put the cuttings with leaves in water. for cuttings that are just nodes, i've found that perlite or sphagnum works a lot better.

      there is a node where every leaf meets the stem. you will have to remove some leaves but that's ok
