Lives in my kitchen so she's near the big window I added the moss pole and little green plant tape about a month ago as the she was looking a little wonky without it 🥴 but I would just like some assurance that I've done it right as I'm a new plant parent Here's a "360" of my plant for reference 🌱 I did notice a few new leaf sprouts! ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/E-Wd1KtgRPuW-Q5cZlO0MQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/FiA1fP9xSoCohpjZA0fxYA.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/NQncA1hzRnGEpDrARn2zDQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/Xyg-DAFoTjasFhLPrSNLAw.webp?size=large) ## 14개의 댓글 ### Nutshell님이 2024-04-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. She is pretty and the pole looks great! Just one little thing, you might wanna free one of the new sprouts out of the tie☺️ #### Sophie92님이 2024-04-14에 답변했습니다. Thank you! I'll shuffle the ties further down to the bottom to free up the little sprouts ### Moriah님이 2024-04-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. She looks beautiful!! ### K님이 2024-04-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. She looks great! Just a couple notes on getting the most from the pole: Monstera have a front and a back. The back is where the aerial roots come out (little brown nubs near the base of the petioles.) You want the pole to run along the back. You also want to anchor the plant to the pole by the stem, not the petioles. The petioles are those long shoots that end in a leaf. So you’ll use the tape more at the base of the plant. That way new growth will be supported without being trapped or constricted. Good job getting her a support; I’m sure she’ll be very happy with you 😊 #### Tantalizea님이 2024-04-14에 답변했습니다. I was going to say something similar 🪴✨ On the second photo, you have your plant tape right on the leaf growth. I’d recommend lowering that to prevent leaf damage as new leaves are delicate. Do not mist new leaves. They will leave permanent brown/black spots. #### Sophie92님이 2024-04-14에 답변했습니다. I thought I had found the back of her I'd heard rhis before of TikTok I've moved the pole but she looks wonky? ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/UT5j481PS4eSdCDvz5lYrQ.webp?size=large) #### Sophie92님이 2024-04-14에 답변했습니다. I've moved that tape now thanks for pointing it out! Oh wow I never knew that about misting the new leafs some of them already have spots?...or mud 😂🙈 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/QFQeZ8BaQvqsS9F2kr4vTA.webp?size=large) ### Tee Jay님이 2024-04-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. It looks okay to me but I would move it as close to the window as you can! Your area looks a bit dark. Monstera love light! They can even be acclimated to direct sun #### Sophie92님이 2024-04-14에 답변했습니다. This is as close to a window as she can get, I live in a top floor flat so it's all skylight windows, I have one windowsill she was there when I first got her but she went brown / had no growth (she was in a smaller pot then) but I'm also scared she will tip off the windowsill if she become to leaning / top heavy \- this is the window space I'm referring to ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/PaCjR7ElQ82qcpXvtLbvag.webp?size=large) ### Sophie92님이 2024-04-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. Potential new home ? I'm scared she will fall off the windowsill 😂 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/6c_rQjVUQymK6LXmNn-Wqw.webp?size=large) #### Tee Jay님이 2024-04-14에 답변했습니다. Would the light be able to reach the top of the pot at least sometimes? #### Sophie92님이 2024-04-14에 답변했습니다. Potentially? I'd have to leave her there and see in the morning ### Sophie92님이 2024-04-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. I mean she fits...but looks crazy haha she's the size of the window ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zPVOHjV4lrtFHw6Sjg-gCqJi9ia39SLOSVOUSGFwnOQ/9IsVWcXTQEemEsF1hprnsg.webp?size=large) #### Sherry님이 2024-04-15에 답변했습니다. Maybe put her back down in corner and get a little plant stand and put her on.I have 5 monsteras. They do like the light. I have plant lights also. I think she looks Great.
