Dirty Roots

I rotate my monstera every couples days to try to keep her leaves upright, most are behaving but I got a few crazy ones.. should I put a pole in there or just let her spread out??

    Eventually you'll have to put a trellis in there so i would do it now so it won't be even harder when it gets even fuller. It's a goodlooking plant. Great job on turning it every so often!

      Should I try to place the trellis in the middle or on one of the sides??

      There are videos on how to do it correctly because you only want to be on the main stem. Also, once you do you don’t want to rotate it. Just keep the leaves facing the sun.

    I think doing it now - and buying bigger than you need at the moment - will help manage her. They also start to produce BIGGER leaves if you give them something to climb! 😊

      What do they have on the stem that will attach to a moss pole? I got one from Amazon, but it smelled so bad I had to put it out of the house.🤢 My plant does have the root things sticking off the bottom of the stem, but they are only an inch off the ground. I bought some of those plastic branch things on Amazon to help hold her up. Three works good.

      Most people train them to a pole or plank or stake. Taking plant tape, twine, etc and tying it to the pole. Ultimately, if using moss, you will get roots in the moss

      When you say “train” you mean get the stems accustomed to leaning towards the support it’s tied to? Cause I don’t see any roots up on the stem for it to grow to the support. I just see the roots at the bottom of the plant. The plastic supports are working for now. The smell is going out of the moss poles pretty well.

      Can you share a bigger picture of your plant?

    I like to use cedar board for support and I recommend getting a grow light
