Hello All:

I have recently gotten into indoor plants. I bought this plant, a Monstera Adansonni. I bought it in the pot with the leaves just hanging. My neighbor told me that this is a much better plant as a \"climber\" and she gave me the moss poll in the pictures. I just want to know the following from anyone who loves these plants and know how to care for them:

1. How does this plant look generally? Healthy overall? Anything that looks of concern?

2. Does the plant need pruning? It seems like a lot of leaves are growing in toward the soil? Many of them are curled and have not spread out? Is that just because they are still new and growing up, or is that something else?

3. How much watering? How often and exactly how much per watering? A cup? Two cups? More or less?

4. I pinned the vines on the poll. Did I do it correctly? SHould I get another pole and let the plant climb even higher, or is it too early at this point?

4. Any other advice you care to give for care? I\'m all ears,

And thank you in advance!
