# Hi everyone! I just got my first Monstera; it’s aged and was in a…

_Posted by aarzoo on 2025-03-25_

Hi everyone! I just got my first Monstera; it’s aged and was in a place where it didn’t receive nearly any sunlight or water, I brought it home, repotted it, trimmed her back, and started weekly watering. The plant is definitely in shock; yellowing leaves, droopy and curling in. I don’t know what to do, I’m so scared im killing her and I’ve never had a monstera before. Can anyone give me advice? The first picture was when I brought her home; before transplanting and trimming her, the second picture is right after trimming her an getting her on a moss pole. Last image is today.

It might be overwatered. A montsera that big doesn’t need weekly watering.

i would say make sure the roots are healthy and if so put it back and let it dry out by your window with the most light

I think u are overwatering it, let it dry completely and just mist it every other day
