I’ve had my monstera for a few years now - I placed it at the corner my room about 2 years ago now and it slowly started to grow out in one direction (towards the window for light) until it became heavily lopsided (see photo) - how can I fix it so that’s its upright, other than just turning it around and hoping it slowly grow back the other way? Any advice? Thanks!
I’ve heard of some people using moss poles but I’ve never used one. You could give it a try
0 LikesYes moss pole and possibly a grow light if the corner is too dark.
2 Likes i had some wood poles that i just secured the monstera too for the time being, just to get them to adjust and grow aerially - i don’t mind making the switch to the moss poles if it’s better for the plant, but is it necessary or are these wooden ones fine?
It’s not necessary to use moss poles. I have cedar planks in mine and a bamboo stake in another.

Turn the plant
0 LikesI have a bendable moss pole that I use to support mine, and I love it! A grow light helps as well. I would often change the placement of the light to keep it upright

The stakes are fine and make sure the aerial roots get in the soil for extra anchors and carful where you tie the plant by the truck and not the leaves
0 LikesAlso seems like you have many plants in your pot, you can repot and take the juvenile ones out and better position the stakes close to the plant without injury the roots
