The leaves turn whichever way the sun is so you can just put it in a direction that will have them turn a different way. Also looks like your plant could benefit from a support :)

Thanks Kim. So the support is the type that I can tie the stalks to right? To keep it upright?

#### Xantheさんが2024-10-25に返信しました

Yeah

#### Kimさんが2024-10-28に返信しました

Yep make sure you only tie the main stem and not the petioles (the part where the leaves attach to the main stem) to the support so that the leaves can move freely in the direction of the light :)

Yeah maybe a pole or trellis?

Plant is light starved too. It’s pretty leggy. Would recommend placing in a brighter location or getting a grow light.

Would recommend turning pit periodically. All leaves are facing the window, which is good, but the plant needs to regain symmetry. The long branch, I’d trim it off - right? Don’t know - only my instinct

Disagree with the rotating suggestions monsteras have a distinct front and back. The leaves should always face the primary light source. The back, where the aerial roots grow, should face away from the light source.

OP would probably be better off chopping and propping to reset the growth instead of trying to correct it.
