Is this type of lean normal? Got her for free, sun burnt and only one “healthy” leaf. She grew this one after I repotted out of bad soil. Any tips besides changing the moss pole for something better? (I tried to get something better than this moss pole yesterday but my plant store was closed)
It looks normal so far — just a fenestrated leaf beginning to unfurl! You can mist the leaf to help it unfurl without getting stuck and tearing. The moss pole question depends on your desired outcome. If the goal is just to provide support, the coco coir pole you have will work just fine. If you’re trying to upsize the plant’s leaves, you’ll want a moss pole filled with sphagnum moss that it can develop roots into!

The leaning is just the plant adjusting its position to face the light better, my monstera move several feet in a few hours twice a day, when the sunlight comes to the back door they start ignoring the grow light and turn to the sun, and about sundown they start turning back to all the grow lights. As long as you only tie the stem and let the petioles go it will be fine and allow the plant to move freely to follow light.
