What to do if Monstera grows crooked

1. Causes

Many people like to grow Monstera in the living room, and they always keep it in the same position, next to the window. One side is exposed to light, while the other side is not, which causes the plant to grow unevenly. This is because it grows towards the sun, a habit shared by almost all plants.

2. What to do

1. Monstera is a relatively shade-tolerant plant, so you must pay more attention to it when caring for it, which will make it grow more beautifully. Therefore, when you are taking care of it at home, you should move the side with thinner leaves to the side where the sun shines, and let the crooked branches and leaves face inward. After taking care of it for a period of time, the leaves that are not growing well will gradually recover.

2. When both sides grow in a relatively aligned pattern, you must frequently rotate the flowerpot and slowly adjust its direction so that the plant can see light from every angle, which will make its plant shape grow more beautiful.

3. If the situation is serious, you will need to use a machine to tie and correct it. You can use a plywood to clamp the leaves for a period of time to allow them to grow and recover.

4. If you are ruthless, you can also cut off the top of the plant including the leaves, and then replant it. In this way, it will grow new leaves in the spring of next year, and its shape will be more beautiful.
