# HELPPPP!! My monstera was doing great until recently! It was growing…

_Posted by Poison Ivy on 2026-01-23_

HELPPPP!! My monstera was doing great until recently! It was growing rapidly, so I separated the plant into 2 pots and repotted them into nursery pots using soil, perlite, and an orchid mix. Now they are drooping with droopy leaves. I recently watered hoping they perk up but…nothing. Any advice? Are they in shock? I keep a humidifier on, and my grow light on for 12hrs and they still aren’t satisfied.

It looks like root shock, the white in the leaves don’t allow photosynthesis so naturally it will brown before the green (as it is unnecessary for the plant) but when you repot or propagate, it will have a response to being “messed with” (Albo’s, Thai Con’s \& and variegated monstera have this tendency)

Thank you for explaining!! About how long will this last?
