# To be followed by another question in the comments! Is is common for…

_Posted by BrionnaSkye on 2025-02-28_

To be followed by another question in the comments! Is is common for my monstera to have a few droopy leaves at the bottom? They aren’t limp and don’t feel as if they are under watered but they just look……sad. Do I remove them? How do I remove if I have to?

On the other hand she just made two new leaves so she could just be neglecting the bottom side to keep growing? I have a lot of new growth too. She has minimal browning at the edges of old leaves but I’m sure it’s because of humidity, I mist her multiple times a day to keep her happy and it seems to be working and solving that problem.

A friend recommended I put my aerial roots in water to promote growth. Is this common ? I did it with caution but it’s been 4-5 days and doesn’t seem to be helping or hurting.

Also the droopy bottom leaves have been this way for about a month so I know it’s not this thing I’m trying with this root.
