# New plant-dad here and I’m noticing about a week after bringing her…

_Posted by CraiCrai on 2023-06-02_

New plant-dad here and I’m noticing about a week after bringing her home from the nursery the tips of most of the leaves have started to droop. This is after watering last week and post-watering the tips have been ‘sweating’. Soil is moist, plant is about 5’ from NW facing window with indirect warm sun. Any tips would be appreciated- other than that she seems healthy and lots of new growth already. Thank you!

i wouldn’t say that they are drooping as much as they are following the light. in my experience, monsteras move a lot.

does the pot have drainage holes?

Thank you for the response! I’ll keep an eye on them and see if the tips straighten out over time. Appreciate the help!

Yep, looks fine for me.

Sometimes they just need a minute to acclimate to a new environment. I reported mine this spring and she was NOT happy (even though she was root bound). After a couple weeks she bounced back!
