# Tips of placement and support. I got this babe a couple years ago and…

_Posted by bru on 2026-03-25_

Tips of placement and support.

I got this babe a couple years ago and it’s growing so much. I keep trying to prune the side that gets less light and propagate it but now she’s looking kind hmmm not balanced.

I think she might need repotting soon and I was wondering how could I better support the grow of this monstera guiding it up.

This window on the left gets direct sun light (facing north-east) in the morning and I’m scared that putting too close to the window will be too bright on summer and longer days and also close to the heater. 😢

Any suggestions from more experienced monstera humans?

I have a cedar pole attached to my monstera I check every month to make sure it isn’t rotted when I water it but that made a huge difference but most people use a moss pole for me it’s just a lot of work lol

I use plastic stakes and Velcro plant tape but moss poles are also good you just have to keep them slightly moist

Do you find the lamp helps with the other side that gets less light? I feel we have them in similar corners :)

Yes, it definitely helps!
