Hey Monstera friends … So mines is growing nicely .. However when I go to repot should I cut off the lower stems that aren’t reproducing ?! Any advice on how I should go about repotting ( when I do decide to repot)

I personally would keep them, if they’re green they’re photosynthesizing and helping the plant to grow. I only cut fully yellow or brown leaves off my monstera as they’re not benefitting the plant. It looks like you have two plants in there, when you repot I would either separate them or place both of the backs of the stems against the moss pole side by side to create the illusion of a bigger, fuller plant 💚

Just think about the plants energy. It has to go somewhere and there’s only so much of it. So if there is a leaf you don’t like for whatever reason remove it so that the energy it is using can be directed elsewhere. Other than that there is no reason to remove them unless they are browning or yellowing (in which case they are stealing energy from healthy leaves and growth). Godspeed!! 💚💚
