# Hello! I recently got this Monstera (his name is Harry) and he wasn’t…

_Postat av Chris den 2023-09-08_

Hello! I recently got this Monstera (his name is Harry) and he wasn’t in the best shape!! I haven’t owned a Monstera before either, so hoping for some tips on how to get this bad boy to his full potential! I repotted him on the day I got him and now have him roughly 4-5 feet away from the window. Parts of him were dying and beginning to fall off when I got him but he’s starting to rebound!

Sounds like you’re on the right track. They’re not super needy plants, so just make sure he’s getting some bright indirect light, water thoroughly when the top 2-3” is dry, and feed him some plant food once he starts pushing new growth. 🌿

Thanks for the feedback here!!! I’ve noticed that he’s started to wilt over a rather noticeable amount , would you recommend using something to prop him up?
