First fenestrate leaf! Love starting plants while they’re young.

Having a problem with it flopping over, what do y’all do to remedy that?

I would suggest repotting it to a bigger pot. That will allow more room for the roots to spread out. It may help it to support itself better.

Monsteras don’t mind being a little root bound. You may need to go and re-situate the plant in the pot so it sits more upright. Also, they love the light, so if you’ve never turned the pot, it’ll keep going towards the sun. A moss pole or bamboo stake helps too.

Okay that’s what I thought, I figured it wouldn’t be an issue. Just got it this year. I’ll put a small stake in there or 2. Thanks
