# Hello, I have a monstera that’s getting so big and I’m assuming it…

_Posted by Beginner jungle on 2026-06-21_

Hello, I have a monstera that’s getting so big and I’m assuming it needs repotting as the roots are coming out the current pot, it’s so big now and started getting floppy so I’m thinking when I repot it I have seen people using moss poles? , I was wondering does the plant stick to them of are would it be tie wraps like how does the moss pole help the plant stand up iv never used one before :)

The plant climbs the moss pole but you have to encourage it to do so. I use twine to tie mine to its pole ! Also yours is gorgeous 🪴
