# Help, my monstera survived a freeze while in my car traveling cross…

_Publié par HannahW le 2023-08-16_

Help, my monstera survived a freeze while in my car traveling cross country in December (brought it home with me during Christmas) it almost died but came back but the leaves are mostly small and weak. It’s been repotted and stuff but still growing weakly. What should I do?

Also, my niece likes to tape the leaves :)

Fertilizer? Does it get a lot of light?  
Mine loves bright light. And it gets first morning sun.

#### HannahW ha respondido el 2023-08-16

Yes, I have been fertilizing it and it has been getting plenty of light (summer in Oklahoma)

Does it need a bigger home already?  
Mine is producing hole leaves and some solid too.  
I realized it wasn’t getting enough sun.I’ll have to show a side profile because she’s reaching a long way.

It used to have one but wasn’t very sturdy so I have bamboo now

Anchoring it to a moist moss pole will allow the aerial roots to attach and signals the plant to climb. This usually triggers the plant to put out the larger leaves with holes (fenestrated).

Also, increase the humidity around it.

#### Tellie ha respondido el 2023-08-17

I always forget about humidity because I have so many plants in one area they make their own.

#### Tellie ha respondido el 2023-08-17

I would try new moss pole.

Thanks all! I added a humidifier and a grow light, will get a moss pole too we will see if that helps!
