Actually doesn’t look too sad! They grow fast IMO. I’m newer to  
Monsteras but I’d say just use some clean shears to trim off that smaller yellowing leaf and then just follow the planta schedule. My monsters also seems to prefer bottom watering over top watering, so maybe try that when you’re dry. Good luck!!!

Bottom watering is good but every once in a while, you should give it a good flush from the top.

Bottom watering is good

My adansonii has been thriving in leca clay! I recommend experimenting
