This is one of my mom’s friend’s monstera.

When I got it I the pot had no drainage, old soil, No support, and was completely horizontal.

I got it on a moss pole to my best ability and it’s been about 3 weeks. It looks a little better and i think it is trying to push out a new leaf but do you guys have tips to get the older leaves to not be so droopy?
