My monstera seems to have three separate plants in the pot I bought it in. Should I separate the plants or leave them in the pot altogether.

It’s really up to you if you want to in order to get more plants, just try not to damage the roots when you separate it

Thank you

I like a more full look on my plants, so in my opinion I would just make sure it isn’t too root bound \& leave it be. 😊👍🏼 good luck with whatever choice you make!  
Remember, messing with the roots will cause a bit of stress to the plant.

It's your preference. But i would leave it all in tact if you want a bigger plant. If you separate them , usually it takes a long time for them to push out new leaves. So if you want more plants you would separate them. If you want a large plant then leave it alone.
