# I got this gorgeous monstera cutting from a prop swap yesterday but…

_Geplaatst door Rebecca op 2024-01-28_

I got this gorgeous monstera cutting from a prop swap yesterday but the one leaf is curling a bit. I put her in about 1/3 bark and 2/3 regular indoor potting soil. I have her next to north and west facing windows and the lamp next to her has a grow light bulb in it. I’ve never owned a large monstera before so Im not sure if the leaf curling is normal or if I should be worried. Anyone know?!

under watering will typically cause curled leaves, or particularly dry air. the pot also looks much too big for the plant and could be causing transplant shock. monstera like to be snug in their pots, so the pot should only be 1” bigger than the roots

I came here to say this as well. The pot is WAY too big for that plant.
