No. You can try putting a strong support and tying the plant to that but if you try and bend the stems they will break. This is why Monstera sometimes get 'unsightly' as houseplants. They are meant to climb. In nature they will climb over 30 feet up a tree in the rainforest. They really aren;t meant to be allowed to just grow unsupported in the breeze. This is how they are meant to grow. Hard for a houseplant to duplicate.
