This is my TC, she started as a 2 leaf cutting 2 years ago and I’m about to give her a much needed moss pole extension as it’s spring – repotting time! She’s starting to outgrow most of the spots I’ve got in the house with reasonable light. Her latest leaves are huge! She currently sits next to my prop and ‘special baby plant’ cabinet. I don’t want to chop her yet if I can avoid it. I was thinking I give her further space to go up if she wants to and invest in one of those vertical lights. Is there any way I can encourage more density, like some of the beauties I see on here?

Well, pretty much when you’ve got a not so dense lower part on your monstera, there’s nothing you can really do to change that apart from propagating and putting them both in the same pot. Whenever you see a big, bushy monstera it’s usually because there are multiple plants in there.
If she’s outgrowing the space (which she’s not right now) then all that needs to happen is a gradual move to a larger area (I say gradual in case there are light differences)
I chop chop but only b/c i’m a university student living on campus 🥺
Buy a bigger house
Can you PLEASE tell me what is the secret to keeping these babies happy, I get that the cream is gonna turn brown, but is there a way to prevent that?
May I ask where you are that it is spring time right now?
Cause I’m about to enter fall.
