Ciao friends,

I am an Italian living in Ukraine and I inherited these two beautiful monsteras from friends who left: they both survived a massive thrips infestation, and pull out new leaves (especially monstera in the first 4 pictures) on a monthly basis. However they are both quite leggy, and the leaves stay small. Any advice? Should I cut the lower leaves that are completely curled? The first plant gets a lot of light in the morning, the second one a good amount but doesn’t reach the whole plant, which might explain the curling. I water them once every 7-10 days, basically whenever the first 2-3cm of the soil are dry.

Thank you!
