Hi, plant friends! Do you know why my Monstera is going down instead of up? Please, help me! š„² PS: do I need a bigger pot or change the place?

I donāt have a monstera but a lot of post on this app say to give it a trellis or something to anchor it on. I have also read that they have a āfrontā & ābackā when you do this so you donāt necessarily have to turn it? Again, my information might be wrong & I have no first hand experience.

0 LikesLooks like under or over watering! Maybe check the roots it looks a bit stressed as well (the leaves should only face one direction) put in in front of a window and wait till the leaves turn one way! Theyāre pretty tolerant plants when it comes to under watering so itās most likely root rot! Hope this helps good luck!

1 LikeWas it recently repotted? They go limp a week or more after a repot especially a repot where the root ball was broken apart. If it was repotted recently, is the width of the new pot only 2 inches wider than the old pot? The roots will rot if there is too much soil in the pot holding excess water that the plant canāt use. Check the roots.
