Monstera Adansonii help!

I am very new to successfully keeping house plants alive and I have what I think is a monstera Adansonii currently doing very well having grown from a one leaf cutting. I’ve looked up supports to help it climb but my plant only has one branch of leaves and no air roots yet so I’m not sure what’s best for it - photos attached to make that clear, does anyone have any advice?

I have another more traditional monsters doing the same thing (so not multiple branches/trunks coming from the earth) but lots of air roots so I can help it cling to a moss pile but also if anyone has advice on how to encourage more trunks growing from the soil I’d love to hear them

The brown lumps on the lower surface of your main branch are the start of aerial roots. I would do a support (moss pole if you want, or just a bamboo cane) behind there and attach it with the plant Velcro green stuff between the leaves, with the bumps against the support.

Monstera generally don't branch, for a fuller look with more stems you need multiple plants in the same pot.
