This girl had a rough time at first, but now she’s doing great! I was wondering if she’d be best on a plank or just leave her to trail??? Sent a couple views of her. If I plank her, what do I do with all the “bushy parts”? I’ve never planked anything before. I know I won’t do a true moss pole. Thanks for any advice or direction.

    if you do end up planking her, i recommend separating some of the plant. that looks like multiple plants in one pot, so separation is better anyways. however, monkey masks / monstera adansonii will grow trailing just fine. the leaves will grow larger if you let her climb, but if you're okay with smaller leaves it's not necessary.

      Thank you! I’d considered I may need to part with some of her.

      you can keep them in separate pots! they will survive after separation :)
