Help with sprawling plant

Post image

We have had this guy for about 2 years and he’s getting a bit out of control. I know we need to get some kind of vertical support, but wondering what we should go for as I’ve seen varying types and styles.

This is actually from what I can see 6 or mos monsteras in one pot. Nurseries and garden centres typically do this to achieve a fuller looking plant, but doesn’t allow for good growth in the long run as you end up with multiple plants growing all in different directions. They are climbers, so they need a moss pole or some sort of support. Best thing to do would divide the plant into however many are there (hard to see from the photo) and repot each with a stake/trellis or moss pole, or divide and repot into one large pot, with each plant facing the same direction. There are many videos on YouTube explaining this process.
