# I couldn't resist buying this Monstera from Aldi yesterday but I…

_Posted by Plantista on 2025-08-18_

I couldn't resist buying this Monstera from Aldi yesterday but I don't even know where to start with it. I have two monsteras now, but not this size and I have a pretty good soil mix that I made. It's now separated from my other plants and I need advice on what to do with it before bringing it in. I've seen varying advice. I think I need to separate it? And if so, where to separate on the plant? Clean the roots and repot? Or repot and give some kind of support? Thanks so much for your help!!

Separate or don't separate is up to your preference but a trellis would help the plant not look so chaotic. Buy a trellis and tie as many stems as you can to it. Try to keep them all facing the same way. But its ok if you can't face them ALL. Yes it looks like you need to repot it especially adding a trellis. Good luck with her shes so full of life. Thats awesome!
