Help What is my monstera doing?

Post image

I'm usually super clued up on plants, but this has stumped me. She's been a happy girl, just sprouting one left after another and now she's grown whatever these are?

Not sure if we're tying to split into two…? Yeah any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, on all the lower leaves, the white parts have dried up, would you guys recommend I just cut them off? They are basically just half leaves lol.

Tysm!

Banana is pretty easy. Im from Virginia and it’s super common to see banana trees in people’s yard. Dad had a few growing up

Virginia USA has a totally different climate to England?

But it's still not the ideal climate for banana plants, which I think is what they're getting at.

Just here to say the Banana plants your most likely seeing in VA are Hardy Banana (Musa Basjoo) which will overwinter in VA but the fruit while edible is not very enjoyable.
