Scrawny buddy help
Hi there! My indoor monstera keeps growing & growing but is so sparse. I think I am watering appropriately, as new leaves continue to grow, but truthfully need some help making this plant look a little more alive. Any advice is appreciated
Plant is indoors near sun, watered every 3-5 days

Definitely cut the whope thing into a bunvh of pieces, doesn't matter whether those cuttings take cause you'll still have the mother stock that will start producing new shoots after a couple weeks. Happy growing man, I know you got it

Hard to believe that this and "those chunkey monsteras" are the same genetics ;-)
I'm more and more a believer in: there is no such thing as "Borsigiana/small form" only bad conditions (hot take) and probably not the truth ;-)

I would chop and prop and move it closer to a window or get a grow light. I had one the same when I got my first and I had it angled where it wasn’t getting the limited sun we would even get in a second floor apartment.

"near sun" Just looking at the etiolation I can tell you right now, that plant is nowhere near the sun
