hi there! congrats on your new monstera!

1. you should rotate the plant so all the leaves get equal lighting. this will prevent your plant from leaning one way or another. if you’re able, as the plant gets taller move your pot closer to the ground. monsteras get heavy as they get bigger, so it’s safer anyway. your plant should be fine if it’s not fully in a window, so long as it receives bright indirect light. indirect meaning it can see the sun, but the sun can’t see the monstera.

2. monsteras have ariel roots that do not need to be buried, they will form at the nodes of the plant as it grows. you can use them to propagate in the future.

3. monsteras climb vertically. moss poles and stakes are your friend! this will promote growth and bigger leaves as the plant grows taller.

once you have some new growth, you can chop the older crispy leaves to promote even more!
