Hello #plants and #houseplants people, I have a question. My monstera / Swiss cheese plant is sending out a vine. What am I supposed to do with it? Do I pot it or cut it off or let it grow?

Do you want another plant? I would pot it up then cut it when it is established. I'm not familiar with that particular plant, so not sure how well it roots. You could sell the new plant or keep it.

Hello, your Swiss Cheese plant is a vining plant. Typically you just let it grow longer. That plant can be allowed to trail down overtime from a high shelf or in a macrame hanger for example. Other people like to stake them up and let them climb vertically. Once long enough you can snip stems off and propagate them in water to make new plants. There is no right or wrong, do what makes you happy! Let us know if we can answer any more plant questions!

All of this! +1 for moss pole support.

You guys are awesome! Really great content and suggestions! If I'm ever in Idaho I'd make a long detour to check out your store!

Thanks, always happy to chat plants! Yes, moss poles can be a creative way to support and display vining, climbing, trailing 🌱
