# Lend me your expertise, please! I’ve had my monstera for a few…

Lend me your expertise, please! I’ve had my monstera for a few months, and have been really careful - it’s thriving! Would love to know what next steps are?

For context, I usually kill plants but have researched a TON and seem to have the hang of it now (mostly). My monstera is growing much faster than expected, and I don’t think my slightly pathetic grow pole solution is cutting it.

What I’m doing already:  
\- repotted 2 months ago - larger pot \& better soil  
\- grow light (sansi) as we don’t get much sun  
\- humidifier daily (occasionally every other day)  
\- foliar fertiliser once p/week (recommended by the brand)

So… I guess the question is how to support it to encourage growth without it getting too crazy or losing structural integrity?

P.s. the top leaf that looks limp, leggy and raggedy is from when I didn’t know how much light the plant needed - it’s always like that and I’ve debated pruning it… but have been nervous…

Gorgeous monstera! Definitely recommend a larger moss pole to encourage aerial root growth and it will also help support itself onto it. Also don’t be afraid to prune it! It’ll encourage new leaf growth. Try checking out some YouTube videos. 😁 can’t wait to see an update pic!

Thank you! I did think a larger moss pole would help - and maybe pruning a little bit. I’ll look at some YouTube videos and update in a few weeks! I did also think a trellis might help but perhaps that’s overkill.
