I have a Q: my big monstera has definitely been monster-ing out, and I’ve unfortunately lagged on training + lacked knowledge at the beginning so it’s now a very wide (almost 5’ spread) lil beastie ✨ I love that it’s so large and Lucious but want it to be growing up more than out - is it too late to train it in that direction? Any tips for how to achieve? I added a moss poll but it just toppled over 😅🤪
I’d say it’s never too late depending on what you’re willing to do to get it there lol. Would you share a picture? That’ll give me a better idea about what methods your monstera would need

Ooo great idea! Thank you, Mullein! Ps: I love mullein 🥰 they’re just starting to bloom near us ✨
1 like You’re welcome 😁 Aw yay!! They don’t get much attention as a wild flower, but they always remind me of home during summertime 🥰

You can try adding a wide trellis if it’s already growing wide!
