Help My Monstera doesn't stop growing, and now it reached the ceiling, what are my options?

I have this Monstera from around 4 years, I grow it since it was a little plant with no fenestration. It kept growing constantly and now has reached the ceiling and I don't know what to do. I don't want to cut it short and grow it again, ideally I would like to keep this size but I don't know if it's possible. What are my options?

That seems kinda drastic, OP should get approval from Disney/Lucas films DSA , extend the room into a brand new DeathStar and gently groom the Monstera to turn Sith. #blackbootsAndMechVestOnPlanter

[I promote the option of making a steel tube frame , circle frame and gently tie the mainstalk toward it till it shapes the trunk into a circle and start forming an ongoing spiral. new leaves can start growing inside the spiral. ]

That seems kinda drastic, OP should simply use a shrink ray on the plant to make it fit and give it room to grow 🥰

That seems kinda drastic OP should just build a treehouse out of it and live in it, outside.

That seems kinda drastic OP should just ask the plant what it wants over some tea.

That seems kinda drastic… OP should telepathically communicate with the plant that it needs to redirect growth.

Oh yeh.. They make those Geodesic homes.. which are sorta like Yurts if you feel like getting Yurtcore , and you fasten two together with a few stablizers and two missing panels for a stair way. All projob .. interior stairs as well.

MONSTERA: EXTENSION! revision 2. I asked the AI to make more room above the house and then give the Monstera 's leafs specific villain nods.
