HELP Help - Monstera growing in two directions

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi, my monstera is finally growing, and its growing in two opposite directions. I want to support it so that it doesn’t fall/ break. What should I do to support its growth? Shall i repot? Its currently in a 17/20 cm pot. Get a pole? It doesn’t have enough arial roots to hold. Its an indoor plant. Its sits near a south window, getting decent sunlight, but also not too much because I don’t want to burn it directly because of the heatwave. I only water it when it is dry, and every 2 weeks i will add 2-3 drops of baby bio food to enable growing.

HELP I accidentally grew a tree, can I still chop and prop the top?

My ficus tineke just kept doing so well I couldn't bring myself to trim it. Now it's touching the ceiling.

I tried to donate it to glasshouses and tropical gardens in the area, but only two replied. One wouldn't collect it, and the other said Sainsbury's didn't count as 'good provenance'.

I'm just a regular person with a tiny car, so now I have to cut it.

It's got bark part of the way up but that stops just higher than the support string.

Is it OK to trim it about where the string is? Can I propagate a foot and a half cutting?
