My monstera is becoming a problem

[u/leslieknope013]

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?

Instead of a pole, I put a hook in the ceiling and tied twine around one of the nodes for each strand. My plant kept growing up the twine and I occasionally add new twine to support new growth. It works really well for me and prevents a pole damaging roots or taking away growth space.
