My deliciosa’s leaves started reaching the ceiling a few leaves ago so it’s definitely time to cut her down again and replant it in a bigger pot. I’ve decided on cutting it back in two pieces, about halfway down and getting the big Asparen pot from Ikea since it’s a similar width to the current one, but about 2.5x longer and should fit all the cuttings nicely. There’s already three “smaller” plants from a previous chop a few years ago in this pot, so we’re looking at 6 in total. 😅 I’m thinking of doing 2m/7’-ish tall supports from the start so I don’t have to make new ones later on. But I’m not sure how to do it and what materials to use, and I can anchor them to the wall for safety. I don’t want moss poles since they’re inconvenient to maintain at the height I want and I have a humidifier. 🤷‍♂️ ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wl9pxzkEvpXCYVekiEOI6NMhz84t58T8RNjos9kPYfA/_k8VfaInSjuyZL8IOJHUWQ.webp?size=large) ## 22 comments ### monster\_maniac commented on 2025-03-28 hmmm go to pinterest and look up moss pile diy bc they have a step by step of what you need when u cut make sure there are aerial nodes especially for a plant this big (so pretty btw) i think(personally) to separate the different parts of the monstera like how there are "multiple" plants yknow #### Johan replied on 2025-03-28 I don’t want moss poles since they’re hard to maintain at the size I want, are unnecessary expensive and are too weak for a plant of this size and weight. #### monster\_maniac replied on 2025-03-28 ah ok mb i didnt see that part u can look up wall clips? i do that for my pothos sry im not much help😅 #### Johan replied on 2025-03-28 I edited the post a bit to clarify that part after your comment. So no worries! 😉 #### Johan replied on 2025-03-28 But the idea of wall clips is not bad! I could probably get tall planks mounted to the wall and just add screw hooks into them as the plants grow. 🤔 #### monster\_maniac replied on 2025-03-28 just with that make sure the roots dont go into the wall incase you do move again _1 more reply in the app_ ### livi commented on 2025-03-28 hope i hv one that big someday 😍😍😍😍😍 #### Johan replied on 2025-03-28 It’s 8 years old and has been through probably 10 moves to different apartments, and there’s plenty of brown edges and bare parts of the stem because of it. But now it’s thriving and I can’t get it out of the door, so I guess I have to stay here now. 😂 ### Holly123 commented on 2025-03-28 Wowwwww she's beautiful! 🤩 Metal trellises are pretty good and sturdy! ### Bay Area Plant Mom commented on 2025-03-28 mine loves a redwood plank 😆 pvc pipes work too but im transitioning everyone to wood for a nicer look 🥲 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/HnXNf-2xPKFrc8ObLyU9UHa28i-zk-ssTB2pkAI2NSg/s2G8Y2xOS7C-9ro7RILDaA.webp?size=large) #### Johan replied on 2025-03-28 No issues with wood rot or did you protect the plank in any way? #### Bay Area Plant Mom replied on 2025-03-29 I didn’t protect and so far none (it’s been a little over a year), a nice gentleman at Home Depot recommended a few types of wood that are rot resistant and apparently will break down much slower and so far so good 🤞🏼🥲 ### PlantLady commented on 2025-03-28 I have wooden planks for mine. I have a ton of plants in one pot so I use 2 red oak planks for support. #### Johan replied on 2025-03-28 Did you protect the plank in any way from getting wet and rot? #### PlantLady replied on 2025-03-30 I used a couple coats of teak oil to try and prevent them from absorbing too much moisture. ### Jemalilly commented on 2025-03-29 I don’t have big plants😭 #### Kate replied on 2025-03-29 Me neither 😭 #### Johan replied on 2025-03-29 I also has smol plant. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wl9pxzkEvpXCYVekiEOI6NMhz84t58T8RNjos9kPYfA/D0fL8JdqTVyq9XfPgn0JUA.webp?size=large) ### Kate commented on 2025-03-29 Big plants!!!! Soooo cool thanks for sharing 💜 ### Makaila commented on 2025-03-29 \*goes to buy one immediately\* #### Jemalilly replied on 2025-03-30 Lov that❤️ --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
