We call this “leggy”, right? Any tips to encourage more upright growth? A grow light above, maybe…

Need help identifying my Adansonii! When purchased at the nursery (Jan 2024), the plant was labeled as the Mint variety. The plant was ~8 inches tall with 2 leaves. It is now a little over 3 feet tall and had been successfully propagated once. The variegation is also stable so far. I’m just now unsure that it is truly a Mint! Any insight is greatly appreciated :)

Monty, as I call him, was not even 3ft tall when I bought him. He’s been a part of our family for four years and this is what happened…. I’m contemplating cutting him back a bit, but I haven’t done the research yet. Any help would be very much appreciated in the comments.

My baby girl—I’m so in love with her! I’m a little bit of a newbie with plants and just attached her to this coconut coir pole yesterday, did I do that right?

How far down should i cut to remove this stem off of my young monstera? Someone else cut it while it was at the store, after i brought it home it started to look like this.

Hello all 👋 For those who have had success with monstera adansonii would you know why I have experienced some almost mottled discoloration and wrinkles on leaves? I suspect it may be moisture related but I also feel like Ive seen a lot of people have success just growing them in house environments. This is one of a few that I started from wet sticks. Any possibility it is just the plant needing to grow and mature?

Any one know why it’s droopy

So I’m new to all this plant stuff. I just got a monstera, and here’s where I currently have it — west facing window. Would it be too little light if I put it where I’m standing and taking the pic from in the second picture? It’s usually brighter, but we’re having a snow storm — in New Orleans!!!

This plant was recently gifted to me. There are two large dried up stems/branches and looking for advice if I should cut them off? If so, how do I do that?

Help! My girl has pushed out new leaves - I’ve been keeping up with my watering schedule, misting, and using a humidifier. I check moister levels with my meter and do not water until dried out. I’m not sure if it’s the lighting but she gets indirect light filtered from my windows with a cling. Don’t know if she needs more light or less or what. Also has no bugs whatsoever - I checked the leaves, soil, and have a trap just incase. I can’t seem to figure it out. The app is giving me too many reasons as to why. Do I cut these off? Do I move her? Current placement in picture but can move her anywhere around here. Any and all advice appreciated!

Hello! I just need some advice and some second options. She is growing too fast and if I add another pole, it will be too top heavy and she doesn’t have a lot of bottom roots for a bigger pot. Should I chop and prop and if so where should I do it at ? Thank you! I just don’t wanna kill her she is my best grower.

I just got these monstera cuttings from someone and I'm pretty sure the one is ready to pot. The other I think needs to root a little longer. Any tips on transplanting on stera successfully and anything to make sure I avoid? This is my first time with one of these plants!

So I was lucky enough to find this massive friend on facebook marketplace but it is WAY larger than is reasonable for me to put in any one spot in my pretty small place. Any advice on when the best time is to go about splitting it into two pots, and how I might go about doing that?
