Maybe try some of those structural sticks to help direct it upwards? I’ve never had a monstera, but that was the first thing that came to mind and I’ve seen my MIL do it!

Assuming you’re happy with the size and not trying to split it!

Definitely a moss pole or a trellis

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if I should split it or not. Was thinking if cutting it up and trying to propagate some of it.. I have a lot of plants but am still learning! Thanks for the tips!

A mossy pole and you can also trim it back and use some of the cuttings for propagation!

The plant is etiolated, leggy with extra long leaf stems and small leaves. It’s looking for light. They like a lot of light and are happy being within a foot from a sunny window.

Consider splitting the plant and cutting back the thin vines. It looks like there are too many cuttings in the pot. Cutting back the thin vines and giving it more sun will allow thicker leaves and vines to grow. 🍀🪴
