Hi! I’m new to caring for plants and am looking for some help with my monstera! Her leaves have been curled up for a while now and I’m not sure what to do. I repotted her about a month ago. She used to sit right next to the window, but it was also right in the line of the a/c vent, so now she is further from the vent (and therefore also the direct light). I have also tried misting the leaves with water daily to help with humidity, but nothing seems to be working. I appreciate any help on this!

This plant needs more humidity to stop leaf curling. I would suggest adding a humidifier or pebble tray if you don’t see some type of pest

### Yolanda commented on 2025-07-15

Don’t mist it the water droplets falling on your foliage can potentially lead to fungal issues

Needs more humidity !!! That’s why she is drooping
