HELP

will this monstera recover from being “floppy”? I repotted it, so some may be from the re pot stress, but it looked like this before too…

That’s what mine will look like when it needs water. How much light does it get in that spot? How long ago since repotting?

About a week ago it was re potted. I have it in well draining soil mix, and when I water I usually water until it comes out the bottoms. Also 4ft from a south facing window.

Is it dry when you’re watering? It’s definitely still adjusting

#### Kida replied on 2024-04-11

Yea I usually let it dry out mostly before I water.

Guess it’s the repotting stress. I don’t know if you can check the root without yank it out, but it’s very possible that the roots might have some problem.

Hard to tell but a couple thoughts:

-Are there multiple plants in the pot, or is it just one feeling droopy?

-does it have a support? If not, you could try grabbing a stake/dowel/wood plank and anchor the stem (not the petioles) to the support. When they lack support they have a tendency to try to kind of crawl out of their pots looking for one.
