# Ok guys, I need help! I JUST bought this mini monstera, aka my DREAM…

_Posted by SamsPlants on 2024-05-16_

Ok guys, I need help! I JUST bought this mini monstera, aka my DREAM plant, havent even got out of the car yet, but its a bit droopy and has some discoloration. soil is pretty moist. What do I need to do to get this beautiful girl up and healthy again? P.s, watering and light tips or any tips at all would be greatly appretiated. Im new to the plant life and this is literally my dream plant and I’ll cry if she dies.

Lighting, bright indirect light. I don’t water mine till its almost pretty much dry and then i bottom water it. The droopiness might be cause its over watered. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would change the soil \& adding perlite \& orchid mix. Thankfully my plant has been really easy to take care of, I hope I helped in any way☺️

It maybe looks a bit burnt? I would check the roots to make sure it’s not too moist and causing rot! They like to dry out almost completely between waterings. I have mine in a chunky soil mix which helps prevent it from retaining too much water

I will repot asap! Thank you!
