    Although this plant is, naturally, a vine it can be cut back at anytime. Just cut back to the preferred height.

    Thank you for this insightful article- it’ll be helpful when I propagate. Apart from propagation, do you know of any other ways that a monstera with only 1 stem can be trained to grow wider/fuller, rather than just grow vertically? Thanks heaps

    This is quite the situation, isn't it? Repotting is VERY stressful, especially for this plant. But improper soil is, also, very stressful.

    Carefully repotting into the proper soil might be the best option, but the mix that you have put it in will offer quite a bit of drainage. My only concern would be the heavy nutrient contents of compost if it has been added in too high of a ratio.

    Here is an article that will help you to know the needs of the plant when repotting:

    The leaf lobe arrangement says Raphidophora. You see how the lobes alternate on each side? That will be your indicator. Monstera lobes tend to mirror each other, where these lobes alternate down the mid-rib.

    We don't sell any gardening products, but provide gardening information.

    You probably have to buy those online. I would check with a reputable seed company, not individuals selling from group sites or alone. We hear about many seed selling scams, so be careful.

    No, it will likely kill off the younger plant. Please make sure to plant them in individual containers to avoid killing them.
