Pot is 1 ft wide, separating my 3 monstera deliciosa. Pay attention class! When you buy a monstera plant from a box store it’s usually 3-5 separate plants in one pot. Separate them! This is what happens when you repot once at the 1 year mark but don’t separate… and then wait like another 4 years to actually address the issue and separate everyone. Do not let this be you! When I decided I was going to repot them this summer, each plant decide to push out a new leaf at different rates so I had to wait until everyone was finished… just to have my baby rip one of the new leaves 🙃 oh well. I’m trying to rehome some so hopefully they go somewhere good. The roots ended up being 4 ft long when I held it up. In separating I accidentally broke off 3 base nodes so now I guess I have 6 plants.

    Mine thrives perfectly being together, but then again all of them are the same size and I just repotted it like a few months ago

      But how old is it? This trio was all the same size but overtime they’ve competed for light/nutrients and were eventually going to choke each other out. The rocks in the pot were there to balance out the weight since they were leaning.
