Plant was transferred twice after it was struggling in some pretty bad soil and it was transferred twice in that same week pretty large-ish amount was cut off of it and we have had to take off a lot of leaves cause it’s it’s not doing that good any tips?

Don’t bother it any further, try and just give it good lighting and steady watering until it can recover itself and get back to supporting its own weight. Monsteras are pretty tough and can survive a lot. As long as you trimmed and brown rotting mushy etc nasty roots, you should be okay.

I agree. I think it’s more of a light issue. Mine grows like crazy and I over water and under water the hell out of it. They don’t like to dry out too much though. So keep soil moist and give light. Should be just fine

If you’re worried about it you can also take some cuttings and root them so you have a backup.
