I got this Monstera as a gift from friends, and it’s my first time with a plant this large. She desperately needs to be repotted - the soil and the drainage needs to be better (I have practice with lots of philodendrons and I know they like chunky airy mix and this guy is similar) my question relates to trying to get her to grow a bit more upright and less to the side. In the nursery here they don’t support them and it’s evident with her going to the side under the weight I think. I’m trying to figure out if I should remove the pups on there and grow them separately and then try and turn the mother plant so she’s more straight and then obviously I’ll pole her. I have no idea what I’m doing and this girl is so big 🤣🥲

@IvyPosh1320 I did pull it out a little to look at it, and the roots are spiralling and coming out of the top. I know it won’t need a big size difference cause they like to be snug, but I do for sure want it in a nursery pot for the drainage and not in some compacted soil. I’m so happy with how healthy she is though, I already see another new leaf on the brand new one that came out.
@DaringColtsfoot I got a Bamboo stake because she needs some heavy lifting and I don’t want to have the moss tip over, I’m going to repot her this afternoon into better soil mix, a two inch bigger pot and then I’ll get her onto the pole
BTW, she's Beautiful
