# I bought my Monstera a week ago and some of the stems/leaves are…

_Posted by Celi on 2026-02-01_

I bought my Monstera a week ago and some of the stems/leaves are drooping (they were like that when I got it) and I added to stakes but I'm not sure if I did it correctly. Any tips on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
