I’ve got this gorgeous baby and it’s just popped out another new leaf! (3rd one this year!) she’s about 2 feet tall atm & I’ve got a pole but now I’m wondering if I’d prefer it to be more bushy and wide than tall? Is that possible?

    Omg. I typed a whole thing and lost it. Short answer is to make it more bushy, cut the stem in between each leaf and root those, them plant back together in one pot. But you may want to wait until you have several leaves at the mature size you like. Otherwise you may just have a pot full of small leaves without fenestrations.

      Super helpful advice! I might give her a couple more months and see if I can get some more leaves before I start cutting it up! Thanks so much!

    I'm working on this with my monstera. I got it as a bunch of different stems in one basket, it was bushy but tons of small baby leaves. Each leaf comes out bigger than the last, so by the time mine were all nice and big and fenestrated, I didn't like how tall the stems were. So chop and prop it was.

    And lastly, it looks great how it is. But sometimes you just need to reshape a plant to keep it practical for your space. I really love the variegation on this. It will be beautiful either way.
