Does Monstera need to be tied up for shaping? What are the methods of tying up for shaping?

1. Do you need to have plastic surgery?

Monstera is a large foliage plant with a relatively thick stem and very large leaves. It is prone to lodging problems. If the main stem falls over, it will affect the appearance when placed in the home, so it needs to be tied up to fix the plant. Moreover, it grows very fast. If left unattended for a period of time, the branches and leaves will become very lush and dense. It may also grow horizontally, causing the plant to be scattered and unable to be properly concentrated. Therefore, reasonable pruning is needed to ensure good appearance and improve its ornamental value.

2. Binding plastic surgery method

1. Binding: After the Monstera deliciosa reaches adulthood, you can gather the branches and leaves scattered around it together with a rope and tie them up. If the degree of dispersion is too large to be fixed with ropes, you can erect a bracket on the side of the flowerpot, fix the scattered branches and leaves around on sticks or narrow wooden boards, and secure them with ropes to shape them and encourage new branches to grow upward.

2. Shaping: Monstera is a highly ornamental plant and requires pruning and shaping during daily maintenance to achieve a beautiful effect. The yellow leaves that appear on the plant should be cut off in time, and the extra side buds on the plant should be removed. It is also necessary to control the height by topping and shortening the branches that have grown too long to promote the full growth of the plant.
