# So I have this Spider-Man monstera and it’s only been growing runners…

_Posted by Evanly on 2025-09-17_

So I have this Spider-Man monstera and it’s only been growing runners for the past few months since I got it. I assume it needs something to climb which I’m going to give it. I was just wondering if I should cut the runners or if I wrap them on the support will they grow leaves?

Loving the name . Just did a search, the vines will grow big fenestrated leaves if they have something to wrap around, also a good amount of light, just not strong sun light, also needs very high humidity , there leafless vines/runners is because it hasn’t had anything to climb and light level could be a bit low, so a trellis or moss pole for it to grow
