They do that when they arent getting enough water. The soil looks wet to me, and pretty dense, so I suspect root rot. It pry looks like it isn't getting enough water because the roots have rotted away, so they can't take up water anymore. I would take it out and inspect the roots. If there are still a few firm healthy ones you could try cleaning them up and repotting in well draining soil, in a pot only one or two inches bigger than the roots. If they r all rotted you can repot it in water or perlite or something. Even if there are a few roots left you could do this. #### Abbi님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. Funny sidenote: I just repotted two adansonii(monkey mask) cuttings into this same pot and one appears to have root rot. Its only two inches bigger than the old pot but apparently still too much🤦‍♀️. Hopefully I'll have time today to take it out and inspect it. Maybe this pot has a curse🤔😅 #### Kier님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. That’s funny! The pot is too cute ☺️ but I do appreciate your help! #### Abbi님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. I know, I love the pot so hopefully the other cutting stays alive and well🤞 ### zollol님이 2025-05-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Monsteras need dry, chunky soil. I know this because they haaaaated my sphagnum moss i have all my pothos in 🙃 Im currently looking for a better soil myself. If anybody has a cheap solution, clue me in! #### Abbi님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. I just do half regular houseplant potting soil and half perlite. U could add orchid bark too. #### zollol님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. I dont really \*do\* soil because ive always had bad experiences with it. Pests, mess, it just decides to stop working and becomes hydrophobic… yeah, i just buy nutrient fertilizer now. i DID find a soil-less monstera mix within my budget though! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EQRYav8YFflsF7TMR6Da2fpzk9bJeiJElL-A9XWX4RU/ISJHjFXCSWyr6EOhPQJvgQ.webp?size=large) #### Kier님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. Thank you. I appreciate this #### Bedroom Botanist님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. I agree… I use 50/50 potting soil and perlite. She loves it and is growing like crazy. I also aerate the soil periodically by using a small pointed dowel to poke the soil, which prevent compaction a lot. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OstYxuofdA55e9wtdilw6SpTwUe0TiZCBRiWOzdb4s4/Z2lRw9s2SdO5QkecH8lcdQ.webp?size=large) ### Kier님이 2025-05-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’ve researched that this is beneficial for Monsteras, which is what’s currently in my monkey mask. I’ll repot it and add some perlite to the soil and see how that goes. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Vrr3MjuykrOZBrXOa6gz4h_OdO1eOzW4lW_XZ7ORpCU/RVLlq1FFTFCilZnZLSOfxg.webp?size=large) #### Abbi님이 2025-05-23에 답변했습니다. Ya miracle grow products usually aren't balanced right in some way. It pry just doesn't have nearly enough of the lava rock. But ya the perlite will help. ### Sunny님이 2025-05-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. I used 1/2 standard Miracle Gro potting mix and 1/2 Succulent/Cactus mix for my very old monstera. She’s in a very large 18” wide pot that stays outside almost all year. This was the cheapest and my plant is happy. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/S7Gu_RGQReGQOxWQj9tZJQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
