Tomorrow marks a week with this new monstera. I have her in the corner to quarantine in my lil’ studio. Her pot is 20” away from the light source. Could this be a sign she wants more light? Still new to this hobby, so I’m grateful for any advice.

Last photo is when she first got here last week.

Thank you!

your leaves on the monstera are supposed to flatten out and face the sun entirely, you can tell if it’s reaching for more light if the stem is extremely long and facing a bit more upward than flat down completely
