If you're allowing the plant's pot to sit in water that collects in the cache pot, that is a serious issue. It's best to empty the cache pot after watering or water at the sink and return the pot to its cache pot only after it has stopped draining. BTW, you can reduce the amount of excess water your planting can hold by tipping the pot at a 45* angle after every watering (at the sink).
Regular nutritional supplementation is an essential part of the care regimen for almost all plants grown in pots, monstera among them. An excellent choice for plants is Foliage-Pro 9-3-6. It contains all nutrients essential to normal growth at nutrient ratios preferred by the average plant. It boasts many other attributes as well, among them the fact that it is a complete nutritional supplementation from a single source. It is definitely one product that lives up to what it says in advertisements.
If your plant is not reaching it's full genetic potential, simply staking it is not going to make it healthier or restore it to a more vibrant state. This short piece about Good Growing Practices should be helpful. It will help you avoid nearly all the pitfalls we all encounter at some point along the journey to a green thumb.

bare-rooting (to the degree possible with a monstera)
@tapla (mid-Michigan, USDA z5b-6a), a curiosity of mine (I don't have a monstera): why is bare-rooting more complicated with monstera?
