Tips for Growing My Monstera Bigger and Fuller?
Asked by Gl0ryH0und99
I recently got a monstera plant from Publix about six months ago, and I named him Monster. He's grown a lot, and I want him to become even bigger and fuller with those huge leaves that can overflow my corner space. So far, I've just been watering him, haven't repotted or used any fertilizer yet. I'm considering adding a moss pole for support, or maybe even repotting since I'm pretty sure there are some baby plants mixed in. I'm a bit intimidated by the idea of repotting him. Any advice on how I can help Monster thrive? I've posted a pic in the comments!

You should definitely repot Monster into a larger pot so he has room to grow! Using a moss pole is a great idea too—my plant has outgrown its pole and started using the wall for support! Giant leaves are on the way if you give him a good environment.

What you need is lots of light, a stable support, and most importantly, patience! Your monstera will reward you in time.

While a moss pole is nice, keep in mind that monsteras can climb with other types of support too. They don’t specifically need a moss pole to mature. Focus on bright light and give him some time to adjust when you set up a support system.
PlantLuvr22: True! Just make sure he’s getting enough light and he’ll thrive regardless of the support type.
