I think it might be time for a chop! My mini monstera is nearly 5’ tall now. Outgrown the moss pole and decided to go horizontal because he’s reached the ceiling. And when I got him last spring he was only 4 leaves high.

Grow baby grow! I would let it take the ceiling too. Just tack it up prettily and make it your focal point of your room.

Oh for real?!? That’s a thing? I have honestly been dreading chopping him! If I can just be lazy, let him be and fix him to the ceiling then that’s totally what I’m going to do!

I've seen a living room like this on Pinterest and it was AWESOME!!
