Hi all!  
My monstera plant is looking dull and the leaves are getting droopy. I have it under a grow light and I’m not noticing a difference. Any tips?

Make sure your being consistent with watering and fertilizer. Keep checking the soil moisture and if it seems like its staying wet for too long I would repot and check for root rot. Trim off mushy roots, spray with 3% hydrogen peroxide and repot into a chunky soil mix. I use Grow Queen off Amazon for my monstera.

Are you watering the top or the bottom?

I always water the bottom of mine and she loves it! She’s the only plants of my 40 that prefer water from the bottom. I keep mine about 2ft from the window and give it indirect light.
