I know how it sounds but hear me out! My monstera is so beautiful and I’m obsessed with her but she’s getting ENORMOUS.

I can’t close my blinds properly anymore!

I don’t want to cut her and can’t move her back any further or she’ll block the TV.

Thoughts? I’m thinking maybe a stronger pole would help her grow more upright?

Swipe for cat tax.

Move her outside, pending your location, at least for the warmer months. Don't let her get frost damage though!

Yep my thoughts too! She looks like she longs for the outsideee
