# Hello all, I rescued this baby monstera, and she’s given me 2 new…

_Posted by Lauren on 2026-06-23_

Hello all, I rescued this baby monstera, and she’s given me 2 new leaves from having only 2 (very floppy leaves).  
She’s gotten to the point where I’m thinking I may need to give her some support. But I’m a little lost!  
Can anyone advise where to attach her? Please just draw a circle and repost the picture, as I’m a visual learner!  
Thanks so much in advance, I really want her to do well and I’ll appreciate any help! :)

You want to tie the plant at the stem. Also be sure to avoid tying the plant’s petioles or when the next leaf grows it’ll be damaged.

Thank you, which side should the support go? I originally had it on the left behind the more ‘straight up’ leaf but I’m second guessing myself!

You want to put your stake on the backside of the plant (the side where the leaves face the sun). I would put it on the side facing the camera in the picture since the leaves are facing outward.
