Hi! I got this monstera a couple months ago now, I think. Yesterday I removed it from its original nursery pot, and separated all the roots I could. I ended up with several plants, and split them up over a couple pots. I have my biggest one in a pot by itself. I put three others in a pot together, but am now questioning my decision. It is a big pot, compared to the three root balls of these plants. I’m really not finding the way I have them in there visually appealing, either. I would sooo appreciate any advice or suggestions!

They look good. Once they start pushing out new growth, it won't seem so odd/unappealing. I found that I felt the same way when I divided mine, but it really was just a mind trick, because I was used to seeing it a certain way. Give a bit of time. They look really healthy and happy. 🧡
