BigBill said:There is a serious problem with your Monstera. They prefer medium bright to bright light. Yours is suffering from a lack of light.
When grown in poor light they tend to get very leggy, long and lean, as they search for better light.
You could try moving it to much better light, trim it back 2/3 to 3/4 and hopefully you will get new, stronger growth to emerge.
You can root cuttings in water and later transfer them to soil.


Thanks for advice. I will trim it back and root the cuttings. Please understand that many people live in places that aren't ideal. This plant is right in front of the only window in our small flat in rainy dark London. It's the best we can do. It has been thriving apart from the recent problem with the one vine in the image as described. Thanks though for getting back.

Has anyone else got any ideas about what to do specificly with the bit of vine - to save the plant and vine? Be very grateful for any constructive thoughts.
