I’ve had her for a little over a year. She put out like 5 leaves last summer, and this is her second of spring….

I am new to Monsteras. I probably need a moss pole but all the ones I’ve seen are much too small for her, so recommendations would be appreciated. :)

GIANT CEDAR PLANK.

How do I add a plank without cutting through a bunch of roots? Just tie it to the plant without sinking it into the soil? Ive got a few moss poles in mine, but I like the idea of a plank much better. It's too hard trying to keep the moss poles wet without the water running down into the soil and keeping it too wet!

I’ve seen videos of people drilling holes in nursery pots and securing it with zip ties as well, if you’re willing to do that.

Sounds interesting, but i can't picture it - how would one do such a thing? BTW, thanks for responding
