Whats wrong with my monstera?
How often do you water it? It could be a couple of different things, but you could try a few routes to avoid overwatering and then go from there if it doesn’t perk up: 1. Repot it in a smaller pot 2. Repot it in a terracotta pot to help it dry out better between waterings 3. Repot it with a soil that has better drainage (even as simple as adding more perlite to a classic potting soil mix) 4. A combination of all of the above (I recommend this) One other thing I look out for is drainage. Make sure there’s space for the extra moisture to escape after watering. I also recommend getting stakes to keep it upright! I have some cheap bamboo ones that do the trick for a plant this small. I just loosely tie it to the stake with twine so it still has room to grow but isn’t flopping all over the place. Good luck!

Monstera deliciosa eventually get too big for moss poles, in my opinion. I prefer green gardening stakes from Home Depot (you can buy them at various heights-4,5,6 feet, etc). At the current height a 3 foot bamboo stake off Amazon would do. Also, less messy than a moss pole. And Velcro gardeners tape.
