Got this huge monstera deliciosa a couple of weeks ago and I love her but I don’t exactly know what I’m doing lol. I was looking into a moss pole to help her grow upwards but I am not sure how to use it or set it up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
Monstera’s are tricky because they grow so different depending on their environment. I would definitely recommend some sort of support. You can get fresh moss online and then wrap them in a moss pole kit. It should work! And you’ll grow more aerial roots doing this

I would google or look it up on you tube. There is a front and back side and you want to make sure you stake on the back side of the stem. Monsteras LOVE to climb! I think it will thrive when you get it on a pole. What is the lighting like where it’s at?

There are 2 plants in there, so one option would be to separate them into their own pots. This might make them more manageable

My monstera tip is to get it a true sphagnum moss pole! Not one of those coco coir ones. Those provide support but nowhere for aerial roots to anchor! When those roots can anchor upwards & the plant gets plenty of bright indirect light you get massive leaves 😁
