# Hi all! I was gifted this little monstera. She’s thriving and has new…

Hi all! I was gifted this little monstera. She’s thriving and has new leaf growth (that top one is new!). But you can see that she’s hanging on by a thread with a long leggy stem. Do I cut her and propagate so she’s more stable? Leave it alone? Many thanks!

Leggy vines with small leaves indicate the plant needs more light. Fertilize regularly. Also, this type likes to climb or they get unruly with lots of aerial roots. Consider adding a pole where the roots can grab hold.

I have mine trailing from a high hanging pot if you like that style better.

Just put it in a macrame or on a high shelf and take out all supports
