Hi, I have a monsters that I’ve kind of neglected for a while and it’s leaning like crazy. It’s been watered maybe every other week, but it can’t stand up straight.

Monsteras love to climb, I would recommend getting a moss pole to help it stand up straight

without something for them to climb up on they will naturally just start falling and leaning over. i had one do that and i made a moss pole for it but the plant wasn't able to bend back upright anymore. i ended up just propagating it into a bunch of smaller pieces (in water and then eventually moved some of them into dirt when the roots grew). i then used one of the new pieces with the moss pole so it will grow back and up the moss pole. moss poles are also good because monsteras have aerial roots and those roots will grow into the moss pole, making the plant happier.
