Hey i’m considering buying new a plant of of facebook! The plant is a bit straggly and i’m wondering if it’s a good deal the plant is 35 bucks. it looks a bit crazy but it big! Could i salvage it in a new pot and some better support? good choice?? bad choice??

Look at that thing! No such thing as a bad investment. Would definitely recommend putting a grow light overhead and buying some velcro ties to manipulate the stem(s).

I would go for it!!!

Go for it, maybe some moss poles to prevent it falling over. You could also prop a bit of it off!

Get it and cut off the extra stem on the bottom 🪴✨

ooo intresting like the roots or cut all the long stem and propagate the top bits?

I’m no monstera pro, but I’ve seen others grow the aerial roots with sphagnum moss tied with a ziploc bag.

Then you cut the extra roots from the pot so it doesn’t look so bare. You can probably style it better cutting it to have two leaves each.
