There’s a YouTube channel called Kill This Plant and the guy has quite a few videos on Monsteras. Very helpful.

I would say check the soil. They like to dry out almost all the way before being watered again.

I would put some spokes into that plant for support. It’s drooping mostly because of gravity.

### Cristi and Grayson commented on 2023-04-20

I think that there is to much water.

I would recommend a terracotta pot and new soil. The terracotta helps give oxygen to the plant and also helps with overwatering. You just have to look out for when the plants needs water.
