# These are my sons Plants. Can anyone give advice on what to do with…

These are my sons Plants. Can anyone give advice on what to do with his Monstera? I said when they’re leggy, it means they need more light and I bought a couple of lights for him.

Does he need to cut those branches off and root them?

How far back should he cut them?

Will they grow back if he cuts them all the way back to the dirt and is that advised?

It was probably looking for more light but also monsteras are climbers so it needed something to climb too. You can start with the light and then a stake or moss pole to let it climb …. Or If you are gonna try and chop and prop her “tanner the planter” and “blossomeffect\_” on instagram have some videos about properly propagating monsteras
