# I’ve been meaning to give my monstera more support for months now,…

_Posted by Violette on 2025-08-20_

I’ve been meaning to give my monstera more support for months now, but kept procrastinating it 😅 I plan on doing it today but some of them stems are very stiff and I’m afraid I’ll accidentally snap them off during the process… is there a way to get it to look more upright or did I push it back for too long?

I also noticed a really long aerial root I think it’s called? Should I just chop it off + why did it become so long? Is it a sign that I need to repot it?

Wow I’ve never seen so many leaves on a monstera.

I have one that was like this too. I did repot and split it into two plants. I used a plastic monstera plant support. After the repot one of the plants fenestrated for the first time.

I have a leaf that fenestrated recently so hopefully that means the pot size is fine. I googled a bit and saw that people also use moss poles, have you ever used those before?

Yes I have a moss pole on my Thai con. And she LOVES it but you have to keep the pole hydrated and it can dry out fast. Mine has just started putting roots into it which is why I love the clear plastic because I can see the action.
