# Please Help i need to know if my baby is sad 😔 she’s been by this…

_Posted by Cici the newbie on 2025-08-27_

Please Help i need to know if my baby is sad 😔 she’s been by this window since i got her just with open blinds but one day i decided to give it more light and lifted the blinds up to get full light to see what she would do…after 2 days she turned out looking like this ….(wilted) can anyone suggest what i should do? I checked her soil it’s still moist but im wondering if this app has me overwatering as well 😩 I’m open to any tips and suggestions

Hey! Overwatering is easy to do! Best thing to do is check the roots just to make sure cause if it is overwatering the rot will continue to spread. If not then I’d move her further away from the window if there’s a lot of heat coming off of it it’ll start to burn. Hope this helps! Monstera is a bounce back plant so if you fun the problem it’ll be perky soon enough!
