I am still very new to owning my monstera and I have a few questions. Hopefully my photo is helpful!  
1- Do I need to buy a stick or something to help hold it up? If so are there any on Amazon that you’d recommend?  
2- Is the browning on the leaves normal, or is something wrong?  
3- When do you typically need to repot them? And how much larger should the new pot be? Do they like having tighter roots rather than more space?

Thank you!😊

The Treleaf trellises have been becoming a popular alternative to moss poles because they are easier to deal with when you have a smaller climbing plant to “train” to climb it. It’s really just a matter of tying it to the trellis until the aerial roots attach, much easier on a younger plant than a more mature one.
