# Any advice to help my Monsterra get fuller? It got sun burnt a while…

Any advice to help my Monsterra get fuller? It got sun burnt a while back so that’s why some of the older leaves look bad but I’ve since learned my lesson the hard way lol. I’ve had this plant for a few years now - grown from a gifted cutting - and it’s always looked a little sparse. It does seem to be getting some good new growth so hoping it’s just a matter of waiting for those to fill in?

It looks like she's really reaching for light to me. She's all over the place not having a back and front. And you have two of your stems tied to the pole you only want the main stem

It’s 2 plants in 1 pot and I have them back to back on the pole. Do you think I should separate them into their own pots?

#### Amateur plant mama replied on 2026-09-07

I would seperate them. They fight for space.

If you haven’t repotted yearly I would repot asap. If that’s not feasible right now, get on a fertilizer routine and increase that light!
