I have a potted pothos, which i bought a year or so ago while already mature. It had a pole installed which it had successfully grown up and stuck to, however the pole is not extendable. It has outgrown its pole, has started dropping lower leaves and is beginning to look sad and less full.

I'm considering either:

• Just pruning the top overgrowth and letting it be; or

• trying to prise it off the current pole (if possible) and transferring it onto a new, extendable pole to sustain continued future growth (i have a very high ceiling).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have a leggy, but mature monstera. I last repotted this guy maybe 4 or so years ago, in a pot much too big and installed a moss pole. Over the years it grew beautiful leaves with fenestrations, sitting in a sun spot in front of a floor to ceiling window. A few lower, smaller leaves got scorched in the sun. I moved home 2 years ago, and it is now sat under a ceiling light and has put out maybe one or two new leaves in the meantime.

Its become very leggy, and I'm considering doing a big chop and repotting the cuttings. Any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated as I've never done this before.

Okay so I've neglected a few of my bigger plants over the past 2 years, not pruning and/or repotting them. Growth is stunted and/or leaves are dropping. I was hoping for some advice.

First up we have my leggy, but mature monstera. I last repotted this guy maybe 4 or so years ago, in a pot much too big and installed a moss pole.

Second, we have a potted pothos, which i bought a year or so ago while already mature. It had a pole installed which it had successfully grown up and stuck to, however the pole is not extendable. It has outgrown its pole, has started dropping lower leaves and is beginning to look sad and less full.

Any thoughts?

Finally, a rubber plant that has no leaves at all on its original main stem. It has two baby stems with good leaf growth which has sprouted from the bottom. I'm considering doing a hard prune, chopping the main stem completely off so that the plant can refocus all its energy on those two new shoots. If I were to do this, where would be best to chop and are there any practical considerations that I should make?

Please let me know if this post sits best elsewhere. Many thanks in advance - any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
