Dieses wunderschöne Baby braucht ein wenig Liebe – ich glaube, es braucht vor allem eine Kletterstruktur, und ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es dort, wo ich es hinstelle, glücklich sein wird oder ob es mehr Licht braucht. Die Bilder zeigen nördliche Fenster, aber es gibt auch westliche Fenster, die etwa 20 Fuß entfernt nicht im Bild zu sehen sind. Viel indirektes Licht in diesem Raum. Hat jemand Tipps? Soll ich sie ein wenig zerteilen, damit sie gedeiht? Sie so lassen, wie sie ist? Moosstangenhalterung? Ich werde bald meinen großen Frühlings-Umtopf machen, ich mache individuelle Mischungen, wenn ich also Kombinations-/Verhältnisvorschläge habe, bin ich sehr dankbar! Hintergrund: Ich lebe in einer Eigentumswohnung, in der fast alle anderen Eigentümer im Ruhestand sind. Mein Partner und ich sind gewisse Berühmtheiten und aufgrund unserer relativen Jugend (30 vs. 50+) auf Weihnachtsfeiern usw. leicht von den anderen Bewohnern zu unterscheiden. Nun, es gibt noch ein paar andere Pflanzenliebhaber im Gebäude, und wie wir Pflanzenliebhaber auch hatten, hatten wir mehrere gemeinsame Momente über unsere Liebe zu Zimmerpflanzen. Nun, meine Nachbarin verlässt die Stadt praktisch für ein ganzes Jahr und hat beschlossen, mir diese Schönheit zu schenken, um keine „schlechte Pflanzenmama“ zu sein. Die bisherige Pflege war bestenfalls minimal.

Im sorry but is that a cruise ship just outside your window?
I’d definitely prop and chop a bit and add some support. She’s quite dehydrated and looks to be struggling to deliver the nutrients and water to the younger and surrounding plants. Some fertilizer is also likely in order! Epsom salts are a great natural and cheap option, but of course you could get something more specific to monsteras. Best of luck! Congrats on your new child!
Gosh that looks horrible I would just toss it
It might need more light. North facing windows offer indirect light right infront of them. West facing windows offer indirect light about 10 ft away and monsteras need a decent amount of light.
It looks like there’s a lot of plants in there. It also looks like there are both large form and small form. You can tell by the spacing of the nodes. I personally don’tlike the small form they always look leggy to me because of far node spacing.
I would isolate one or two large form stems into a single pot. Otherwise I think it will be unmanageable and messy. I think a wood plant or trellis will be more effective than a moss poll. Also it will need more light. A north window and 20ft from a west window is low light.
It probably needs a repot and fresh media. It would be nice if you chopped and propped a nice chunk to give to your neighbor on their return. Once you’ve got it out of the pot, you’ll see probably some natural areas to divide or cut. Some kind of trellis, moss pole or other.
https://www.houseplantjournal.com/ ‘Houseplant Journal’ on the internet and Instagram has done some major work on his monsteras, you might find some useful advice from him online.
That baby will take as much light as you can give it. Small leaves and thin stems mean it hasn’t have enough light.
They take moss poles great, but another easy option is actually a tomato cage, especially in the beginning when it has lots of shorter stalks
You def have multiple monsteras, unfortunately all growing in different directions, hence why they are growing wild, wider and wider … and here’s what you can do to get them sorted out & tidy, before they grow even more crazy & wild in their different directions.

You could repot them separately or have only 2 plants per pot with their backs to a support pole, see separation process in the below vid.

**It might be a lot easier though for you to just take some top-cuttings from your monsteras as they are and propagate them, then repot the top-cuttings with the correct orientation of their backs to a support pole/plank and their fronts facing outwards… you’ll get neater tidier plant(s) which will not only look much better, but will grow better while not taking up so much space in your home.**
As for what to do with the remaining monstera mids and lower portions, you can cut in between each node and propagate to make some baby monsteras to give away or sell.
Also, the leaves seem to be lacking fenestrations, and the petioles & stems are very leggy, so the plants could do with better lighting.
