# Questions: 1) Leaves are wilting and soil was dry, but not hard dry,…

_Lagt ut av Kaunas den 2026-10-08_

Questions:  
1\) Leaves are wilting and soil was dry, but not hard dry, dirt was fluffy in darker brown, so there was a little moisture in there.  
2\) Is this support helpful? Is it correctly placed?

What soil is it? It looks kind of dense for monsteras. They need a really chunky mix

I’ve always been under the impression that monsteras don’t need much sun, and the same was happening to mine until I moved her closer to the window.

My monsteras that’s thriving the most is one I keep outside in the shade and gets indirect bright light all day.

Don’t tape around the petioles like that, only attach your plant to the support on the main stem. They need to be able to move their leaves. You’ll know where the main stem is because it’ll have arial roots growing from it.

You should only attach it to the moss pole in the circle not on the x.
