Roughly 3-4 year old monstera in soilless soil I kinda neglected a bit and have been under watering. The bottom 4-5th leaves are yellowing and will fall off what can I do next, it’ll leave roughly 2ft of bare stem. I’ve never liked the stemy/bald look but I’m hesitant on cutting, took a while to grow the big leaves. It has a moss pole full of roots aswell.
What are my options?

Since they’re on moss poles, assuming roots have grown into the poles, just chop and extend.
I dont understand exactly what youre asking but it looks pretty awesome to me! Looks like maybe just a small nutritional issue like low Nitrogen or your underwatering causing the lower leaf yellowing. If you want it to fill out more id hack off the tops and try to work on pruning it over time once the lateral growth emerges after topping… unfortunately all great plants take time and effort and some obsessing over haha. Id recommend learning about bonsai if youre into the shape of the plant and keeping it within a certain size. Hope this is helpful!
