How to repot Monstera Adansonii?
Hi friends!
Iβve had these Adansoniiβs for a year or so now and theyβre doing great (new growths & big leaves) but I am still not sure what Iβm supposed to be doing when it comes to support? the stems are quite thin & fall over without being tied up. οΏΌ Are they able to vine like a Pothos? or should i keep them supported? any advice would be appreciated π π©΅
Also, they were all originally together in one pot but I did not know how to stake them all up so i separated them

So an adansonii can technically vine like a pothos, but it will protest that by getting leggy, putting off smaller leaves and bare nodes, etc, much faster than a pothos. These guys want to climb so I would strong recommend giving them vertical support. Since the actual stem (where the aerial root nodes are visible) on both of these is still pretty short, I would stick to using bamboo stake style supports like you are using already. Eventually you may find you want to transition them to a moss pole, wooden plank, or trellis of some sort, but I would wait until there's much more actual vine/stem to support before doing so. For now, just giving them a way to go up will be plenty.
And you definitely can have them separate or in the same pot, though supports can be challenging with multiple vines π I have an adansonii that is 3 separate plants in one pot and they are similarly sized to yours, and eventually I intend to get them going up a pole or modular trellis system, but for now I just have bamboo stakes next to each individual plant. I have a silver sword and cebu blue climbing with multiple vines of each and they are just planted around their supports so that each vine can find its way up. You can sort of see how I've got the silver sword set up in this picture, in case that helps for future reference π
