Next Step?

I’m wondering what my next step should be for this plant as the leaves are just getting smaller and the plant just seems a little “blah”! Should I do a big chop in hopes of it producing bigger and better leaves?

This is happening to my photos, maybe you should chop some of the vines and propagate them and that goes well then just maybe restart

Thats really odd for a Brazil! Usually ur inwardly hopibg ut would slow down a bit! I propped about 10 plants from my ONE hanging and shes still fine. I find if leaves crinkle a bit, some humidity fixes it right up. Make sure shes getting enough light as well

@BuffCaperspurge right!! That’s why I’m so confused! Haha! I’ll do a repot into a plastic, smaller pot and then do some propagation!

@robbi_rose id also convett to hanging pot (i cant see what its in now) that allows it to trail as it wishes. We go to great lengths to help Monsteras and theut aerial roots climb and find tgeir way. Ive done the dame w/jade and golden pothos, wrapping tails around poles as handles abd forming wgat appears as Easter baskets. Creativity can always come in handy when assisting ur plants to live their best life. If ur tails r long (they will be) as compared to ur plant proper, u will find some pulling so i def would prop a lot of the tails as Vrazils r easily rooted . U cab assist w root hormone liquid or powder; mix half moss & half perlite as prop soil and plant yr cuttings once they callous over. Put them under tent like zip loc bag and secure under nursey pot or close the bag for makeshift greenhouse. Check it every couple days keep soil moist but not soaked, after 2 wekks, give stems gentle tug. When u get some resistance, ur grtting roots!! U eant at least 2“ roots when u can take it from uts “greenhouse“. Keep in mind this entire time, tge prop needs to get lots of light (i put under grow lights). Maybe 4 weeks total u will have a “starter plant“ , when roots r strong enough, repot in reg soil or just remove 1/2 of both perlite & moss & add aroid or any soil u would normally use. U dont wanna keep it in all that moss forever. Once u succeed, u will find urself drawn to do more (cause its so very easy!!!) good luck pleade let me know how ut gors or aby qyestions, concerns or problems u have!!🫶🪴🌿✌️
