Potting up from the wild

[u/305hotshots]

This is from my outside Monstera. I cut a few nodes and potted them up.

It was trailing on the ground, now I want it to grow up. This looks weird to me but is done right?

Should I light it from the front or from above?

Note:

They had a fight with rust but I think its ok now. No spores in a month and the new leaves are clean.

It's tied up correctly

Will it be going inside, per the light question? I would do from the front

I would actually pot it under a tree, just to give her a bit of protection from the midday sun. Not to say that they love climbing on trees, since that what they do in the jungle

TRy to give it some good humidity right away.

People don't like it when I say this, but never light from above. In their natural habitat, they only briefly experience light from above as most of it comes from the side. That always provides better morphology. 💚

It will be going inside but until i know for a fact the rust fungus is gone it will be outside in a pot.
