Please post your big plant supports for inspiration! My deliciosaā€™s leaves started reaching the ceiling a few leaves ago so itā€™s definitely time to cut her down again and replant it in a bigger pot. Iā€™ve decided on cutting it back in two pieces, about halfway down and getting the big Asparen pot from Ikea since itā€™s a similar width to the current one, but about 2.5x longer and should fit all the cuttings nicely. Thereā€™s already three ā€œsmallerā€ plants from a previous chop a few years ago in this pot, so weā€™re looking at 6 in total. šŸ˜… Iā€™m thinking of doing 2m/7ā€™-ish tall supports from the start so I donā€™t have to make new ones later on. But Iā€™m not sure how to do it and what materials to use, and I can anchor them to the wall for safety. I donā€™t want moss poles since theyā€™re inconvenient to maintain at the height I want and I have a humidifier. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

    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

      I donā€™t want moss poles since theyā€™re hard to maintain at the size I want, are unnecessary expensive and are too weak for a plant of this size and weight.

      I edited the post a bit to clarify that part after your comment. So no worries! šŸ˜‰

      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. šŸ¤”

      Itā€™s 8 years old and has been through probably 10 moves to different apartments, and thereā€™s plenty of brown edges and bare parts of the stem because of it. But now itā€™s thriving and I canā€™t get it out of the door, so I guess I have to stay here now. šŸ˜‚

      No issues with wood rot or did you protect the plank in any way?

      I didnā€™t protect and so far none (itā€™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 šŸ¤žšŸ¼šŸ„²

    I have wooden planks for mine. I have a ton of plants in one pot so I use 2 red oak planks for support.

      Did you protect the plank in any way from getting wet and rot?

      I used a couple coats of teak oil to try and prevent them from absorbing too much moisture.
