Hello all! I am a semi new plant parent and just got this cutie today! This is my first Monstera, and I would so appreciate any tips on how to care for her! Also, at what height should I add support to her?

Do not over water it please it will attract pests and its frustrating! Also give it lots of light

I’m not a pro but make sure to rotate her quite often. I try to dust the leafs every now and again, too. Good luck! 🌱
