Hello! I am a first time monstera owner and am very excited to see this plant thrive (hopefully)! I watered it 5 days ago but the top soil still feels very dry. This plant is next to the heater but I’ve only just turned on my heater (yesterday). Was hoping for some guidance on if I should water again or should I just leave it alone! Any tips/comments would be helpful! Thanks!
i’d suggest, don’t base the watering schedule on the number of days it’s been. better to go by the dryness of the soil. that newer leaf is picture perfect!

They hate staying dry and will droop and yellow then brown as a result of being too dry for too long.
