At a glance I would get that repotted with a MUCH chunker soil… some type of orchid bark, perlite, soil combo or Molly’s Aroid mix. That soil looks much too dense.  
Drooping leaves is generally a sign of the soil needing aeration.

Nice visual! 👍🏼

Thank you for the graphic ! Yeah I currently have it in the MiracleGro all purpose houseplant and MiracleGro Succulent soil. Will definitely try to change soil then

#### ValleyoftheSun antwortete am 2024-05-31

Def lose the succulent soil! You want to see more bark and perlite than soil!

Is it getting enough light? Monsteras need a lot of it.

I would also check each leaf closely for pests, since that can make leaves floppy. Check the undersides of the leaves

Mind you this is morning (8 AM) but I believe so? It’s at a south facing window with a slight overhang outside.
