Can anyone tell me why my monstera looks like it’s straight up not having a good time? 😅

When was the last time it was watered?

#### Liz antwortete am 2024-03-08

I watered it just today. Do you think it’s just under watered?

#### Skimbutt antwortete am 2024-03-08

How often do you water it? With my Pothos it looks super droopy like this a day or so before I water it. I don’t know anything about this plant but thats my guess.

#### Liz antwortete am 2024-03-09

Like every few weeks? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have root rot.. at least I hope it doesn’t 🥴

What size pot is it in? Show a picture of the entire plant including the soil.

This is when I first got it just under a year ago, before putting the support in. The pot isn’t very large at all. Maybe 6 inches?

I meant show the full plant as it is today. Seeing the picture from a year ago won’t help much. I’m trying to see the entire plant to see if it’s an under watering or overwatering issue. It could be insufficient light or fertilizer causing the droop, as well, if we can rule out a water issue.

Also, looking at the soil might help determine if it needs more aggregates like perlite and sand to help it faster drain. This can help if the plant sits in water too long due to slow drainage.

Unfortunately I don’t have an updated picture and I’m out of town until next week 😭 If it survives, I’m going to repot it, not in a terracotta pot!
