# I have a Q: my big monstera has definitely been monster-ing out, and…

_Opslået af ehmé telegotre den 2024-07-02_

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

Oh yes! I meant to add one earlier \& forgot - one sec will get back to house \& add one  
lol thank you that’s encouraging 💚

Ok way late in adding but finally put up a picture - yesterday I wrapped some leaves off the same point together so pic is post that

Looks like a good candidate for a trellis! Something like this

Ooo great idea! Thank you, Mullein!  
Ps: I love mullein 🥰 they’re just starting to bloom near us ✨

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!

Never too late! Moss poles work!

#### ehmé telegotre svarede den 2024-07-02

Any pointers? This one definitely did not 😅
