Hello everyone ☺️ would anyone have any suggestions how I can encourage my monstera leaves to promote the leaves grow upright and tall?

Right now, her shape looks so sad and crowded but I’ve tried rearranging the leaves several times with no luck

Any help would be so appreciated at this point 😭

Grow light will help the leafs wanna stay up.

If you want upward growth, an above light is ideal. As well as get a moss pole (not the coconut coir). It encourages them to seek out the moisture up the pole and go upwards. They also will get larger leaves
