What kind of soil are you using? Whenever my monsteras have yellowed or stated going limp it’s because the soil is dense and holds too much moisture for it

I just got it a week ago from Home Depot. I don’t repot it or anything yet

I would recommend mixing soil with perlite and orchid mix. Things that are chunky, barky and allow for good drainage. I also would recommend bottom watering with a pot that has drainage holes in the bottom just to make sure it’s not getting too wet!
