I picked up this beautiful Monstera from Home Depot. It has several stems so I added two Climb-Itt poles for support. There are leaves growing in EVERY direction lol. How invested should I be on getting them all front facing (if even possible)?
I would cut off the dead/yellowing leaves on the bottom as that will promote more growth. Don’t worry about them facing all the same way, as they will tend to move toward the light regardless. You may want to look at the roots. With that many growth points I’d assume that it may be root bound.

this is at least four different plants in the same pot. there is no hope of making it neat while there are so many plants smushed together. i suggest dividing them

Here’s my Monstera DIO who ended up being 11 plants once I repotted him 😅 yours looks far bigger! I tried to avoid it, but a couple of leaves got brown patches and the new leaves were smaller and pale. He was really root bound and just starting with root rot so I’m glad I caught it early!
Did you repot all 11 back in one pot or did you separate them? If so how many did you put in each pot?
0개 좋아요 I split and repotted , gave one to my bestie and left the rest by the side of my house for my neighbours to take 🫶🏻 I kept the biggest three and recently combined the smaller two in one pot. They’re small enough for it to be OK and the roots were too tall for my other pots 😅
