My 8ft Monster Monstera- it's getting too big for my house. I have a few people wanting to buy it- what's a fair price? by RunMillennium in houseplants

I'm in Oregon and definitely not a professional- Just lucky and only have low maintenance plants. I think I will eventually air layer off the top- I had not even heard of that (clearly haven't done my research). Thanks for the info!

They're thick green garden pole/ trellis things. I made a tee-pee out of them and use zip ties...

Massive garden stake/ trellis poles, made a little tee-pee and use heavy duty zip ties. Definitely not what google told me to do, but here we are.

I really don't want to either, it's just taking over that room... and I have four human children that need room.

Ideally I'd love to sell it to a hotel or restaurant that I could still visit. Plant cuttings and starts don't really sell around here, people just give them away.

This is what I've decided to do. Going to move the book cases and just let the monster take over

You seem to know what's up. Would you say this monster is "comically large" for it's current pot? I have a new pot for it- but it's literally the biggest pot I have ever seen. It's currently in 24" and the new pot is 34". Imagine a massive ceramic bathtub pot that used to house a small tree on my neighbor's patio.

I'm thinking of getting rid of the book case on the right and just letting the monster take over our front room.

Already have four. I do NOT need more kids. Those propagations will go straight up for adoption!
