I am trying to save this Mondtera deliciosa my sister gave me, does anyone have tips other than moving it? My apartment doesn’t get any direct sun so it’s unfortunately stuck in less than ideal conditions.

This plant looks pretty healthy, what issues are you having?

Yellow spots and droopy leaves, used to stand much taller

Get a trellis or moss poll and tie the stems so it. I would repot it if it doesn't have chunky soil. And make sure its pretty dry before watering it. Get a growlight for it if your place it dark. Do you have an east facing window? If so then put it there.

Nunya's right! Grow light + East facing window made my rescue monstera pretty happy!
