I would bring that Velcro strap down a few inches, it looks like it could potentially restrict the next leaf as it tries to come out

Damn she’s beautiful, I think it’s ok but I’m not an expert, anyways as she grows try to continue to give support to the main stem vertically. I also have a monstera and I recently tried inserting one of the areal roots in fertilized water and she’s thriving. Hope yours will do the best 🙂

You want to tie the stem to the support not the petiole:
Looks like the pole needs to be on the exact opposite side of the plant. I see an areole root. That’s the indicator of the back of the plant, where the pole should be
This stake is practical but is not useful for your plant, a sphagnum/moss stake is better or the roots will cling to it.

Not a pro at all but I think put it here and tie it where the red is. Pretty much best way is to put it behind the newest plant and make sure the one that’s gonna grow can move. This is if you have one monstera. I can’t tell entirely if it’s multiple in one pot or just one.

No, you didn’t attach it but this plant won’t attach to a coir pole anyway, it’s simply there for support so it doesn’t matter.

No. You have the pole at the fron of the plant. It should go at the back of the plant.
Don’t tie the petioles, tie the stem only

Hey there! I’m not sure if all you were looking for was advice on how to attach your monstera to the coir pole or overall advice, but I will offer a few other tips that may help your plant out!
It looks like you have a few monstera in there, so I’d recommend separating them and keeping it 1-2 per pot. More than that will get overwhelming for not only you but also the plants! When you do your repot, make sure the petioles aren’t buried in the soil. Just the main stem. There should only be 1 part of the plant in the soil other than the roots. I’d also recommend making your soil a little chunkier. These guys are prone to root rot and need something well draining and breathable! Equal parts soil, large perlite and orchid bark is a great start! And lastly, I’m going to recommend a different kind of pot. A plastic pot that’s 1-2 inches larger than the rootball with plenty of drain holes in it. Terracotta can be a little tricky with plants and roots tend to stick to the inside of them and you may end up having to tear the roots to get your plant out when it comes to future repots!
Setup is the most work for these guys! Water when the soil is pretty much completely dry from top to bottom, then give it a deep, thorough drink. I water mine probably once every 3 weeks this time of year! Aim for 10-12 hours of bright sun/grow light! You can do direct sun, but be very careful and slowly acclimate. Monsteras are very easy and resilient. Give it kind words and gentle hugs and happy growing! 😊

Tying the petiole restricts plant movement
