_Posted by Scarlett Ferrara on 2024-11-21_

I recently repotted my Monstera plant and the leaves are drooping. I’m not sure if it’s going to die or not and I’m not sure what to do.

Hoping someone can help!

Did you water her? Some plants don’t like repotting and so they’ll go into shock for a bit before perking up again

### Scarlett Ferrara commented on 2024-11-21

I just gave them each about a cup of water. Do you think I should have watered more?

### eatyacarbs commented on 2024-11-21

i would water very thoroughly at least once — this isn’t looking good 🫠

### Alyssa commented on 2024-11-21

Yeah I agree with eatyacarbs, definitely water it till water comes pouring out the bottom

### Scarlett Ferrara commented on 2024-11-21

Thank you!! I will give them more water now

### Scarlett Ferrara commented on 2024-11-21

Do you think having the plant light on the all day is not good either?

#### J-Mo replied on 2024-11-21

I personally wouldn’t run a plant light longer than 12-14 hours/day. Think about the plant being outside, it goes through the day and night cycle in nature, so it should have it in your home too! 🙃
