Hey there,  
My mini monstera (tall \& small leaves) is fuller at the top, less 'leafy' at the bottom (see photo). Is this normal?

It’s very normal! If you want it to be fuller at the bottom you can propagate it and put the props back in the pot

Thank you 😊. That's what I'll do 👍🏽

totally normal. vining plants need regular pruning to keep them bushy. a lot of them kill older leaves simply because they're old.

WOW that’s a mini!!!! It looks like tree 🌴 I hope mine does as well as yours ❤️❤️😍😍

I'm pretty sure it's a 'mini' as they're small leaves 😉. I have green clips on the ceiling to hold the tall ones. Needless to say, the plant HAD to stay there 😁

Never knew about mini ones, I have the big leafy one but I love that mini!!
