But I’d be more concerned about Earls yellowing leaves and the size of the pot. Very large pot for a not so large Earl. Plus yellowing leaves makes me concerned for root rot. #### emma 🪴🌞さんが2024-02-26に返信しました hi yes i did over water him, i recently changed out the soil and added new potting mix with perlite and sprayed a pest/disease spray that was recommended on here. he was a lot bigger but unfortunately lost several leaves due to the over watering. if you have any more advice for nursing him back to health it’d be greatly appreciated 😊 #### emma 🪴🌞さんが2024-02-26に返信しました i am optimistic about his recovery though, most of the roots still look fine it was just too wet at the bottom! #### KD 🪴さんが2024-02-26に返信しました Glad to hear the roots still looked good! In my experience monsteras are pretty resilient so I bet he’ll turn around! ### Marさんが2024-02-26にコメントしました The securing is good! So happy you invested in one for earl🥰🥰 #### emma 🪴🌞さんが2024-02-26に返信しました thanks for the suggestion! 😁 ### Amie206さんが2024-02-26にコメントしました Emma I know you’ve been trying hard to do your best with Earl. I still think he’s save-able. I agree with KD. The pot is a little too big now and I’d make a couple adjustments to the stake. Ideally you have two stakes. One for the stem on the left of the pot and one for the right stem. I went back to your previous post and screen shot, put some yellow dots about better placement. You would try to put a stake just a few inches away from the bottom of the stem. Then, wrap it a little further down. #### Amie206さんが2024-02-26に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/rLkdsfZry_mmttY12utbuWXEpkypn5xdaSt3fFIquCc/yawngwS4TrejIH6u01D2lw.webp?size=large) #### Amie206さんが2024-02-26に返信しました Here are some close ups of what one of my stakes looks like ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/rLkdsfZry_mmttY12utbuWXEpkypn5xdaSt3fFIquCc/7MsjgbrrRaOPmzMpA2SdSA.webp?size=large) #### Amie206さんが2024-02-26に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/rLkdsfZry_mmttY12utbuWXEpkypn5xdaSt3fFIquCc/E15XZTnHTYmiAGwSm_A95g.webp?size=large) #### Amie206さんが2024-02-26に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/rLkdsfZry_mmttY12utbuWXEpkypn5xdaSt3fFIquCc/1cS7CIswQbi4KBn3OfwUrA.webp?size=large) #### Amie206さんが2024-02-26に返信しました Hope this helps a little bit. It’s a whole mess under there 🤣. But he’s 5ft tall and constantly putting out growth. I know ear can recover _アプリに返信が1件届いています。_ ### Sydneiさんが2024-02-26にコメントしました good thing you noticed the overwatering! hard to tell but is the pole in the front of the plant or the back? it should be in the back (opposite of where the leaves are growing; near the aerial roots) #### emma 🪴🌞さんが2024-02-26に返信しました yes i think i fixed the placement now. thank you! 🫶🏻 ### Timmyturnerさんが2024-02-26にコメントしました Be sure to never block the bottom of the leaves to to that’s the area where they absorb oxygen (breathe) but ye great pole just needs a tad bit more security so make it more stable and 👍🏼 --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
