Hey Everyone – I have a beautiful and thriving monstera…I bought this in May from a big box store / it was so cute and apartment sized at the time!!
As beautiful as it is, at the rate it is growing im afraid I’m going to have a Little Shop of Horror situation if I don’t do something now. I’ve already had to increase the pot size THREE TIMES.
The problem is, I think I have quite a few plants in this pot and no idea where to cut it. I don’t want to kill it!!
I repotted yesterday and all the roots are together – Im a bit ignorant when it comes to propagating plants without a clear node…so would love some advice. This plant is just growing new shoots from the bottom of the pot and not growing up. I don’t see any clearly defined nodes and very confused on what to do here.
How can I separate this plant??
Is it too late?

If any one reads this – I did find what looks like a section I could cut at the base of one stem. What do you think?
I wouldn’t cut the plant, if you want to separate these plants do it in the roots not above the soil. This is multiple plants. But if you like it full and bushy next time you repot just turn them so they’re all facing the same way so they can all use a pole, may need 2 or one big fat one if you do keep them all potted together. I have multiples together in a few pots, they’re all fine 🤷🏽♀️ But when I bought mine I bought 2 planters but didn’t realize each one had 5+ plants in it…. whoops. I would’ve only bought 1 had I realized at the time.
