✨Update✨ And I’m back with another question! So I found out that my monstera did not have root rot like I thought. It was the soil that I was using, so I swapped it out to a chunkier mix and my monstera is clearly loving it! It’s finally sprouting 😌 I also bought a moss pole for it to grow on. My question is: is this multiple plants? If so, should I separate them so I can attach one “main stem” to the moss pole?

It looks like it is multiple plants. I wouldn’t recommend separating them since you just repotted but you ca totally attach them to one moss pole for a more full look. I’ve also done this and it doesn’t harm the plant at all.
