I’d love some help/advice. 🙃 I have this beautiful Monstera Adansonii that I got from Walmart a few months back and has been growing like crazy in all directions… if I don’t leave that tall piece in the back against the wall, it flops over completely. Any advice on how to maybe give support when it’s literally growing in all directions?
I have several of these beauties! I have a bamboo stake in one of them and another on a moss pole. My biggest one is climbing the wall and it’s secured with green leaf shaped plastic pieces that stick to the wall and hold the plant up. 😊
So I have another one that I did the same thing with!! The problem with the one I posted about is the ones on the sides/front, I can’t pull them back enough to get wrapped around anything. 😭 they’re not as “flexible” as my other one. The stems are much thicker on the one I want to help support.
Ahhh yes. I had that problem too. You can put smaller stakes, like a chopstick, in there next to those stems in the front and wrap them onto the stick with plant Velcro strips. Hope that helps!

I am currently doing this with a mini monstera. I will be looking for plant clips soon, as it is outgrowing the sticks on which it currently grows.

Yes , give it a pole or support in some way and it will grow taller and also put out bigger leaves as well.

MOSS POLE🫶🏼
0 Likes Leafy Co. has buildable moss poles that come with rings for each level to hold the “legs” of the plants, it might do well for your baby

Honestly I let mine flop and just hung it from the ceiling. They make good hanging plants too! Plus you can decorate them for the holidays
I have my other one like that currently ☺️ the one I posted about though, the stems are so thick that it didn’t seem good for the plant.. 😔
Btw- I love the Christmas decor in them 😍
0 Likes Thank you! Also the stems on mine are really thick too, especially at the top. About the thickness of a sharpie. It hasn’t been an issue, but it probably would do better on a moss pole.
