# What do you think I should do to my Thai monstera she was not droopy…

_Posted by Joss on 2026-01-14_

What do you think I should do to my Thai monstera she was not droopy yesterday. I changed her soil yesterday because I got her at Home Depot a week ago and her soil was very drench. I took all the soil out and rinsed the roots and even cut half of the roots to be sure she did not get root rot. Today I wake up and she like this. Please help

She doesn’t look too too bad, but it sounds like she will be going into a period of shock, from repotting and the root trim. I recommend that you give her some extra misting to help. Keep those leaves hydrated and happy! Make sure she’s in a warm spot with plenty of bright light. It might take a few weeks, but she looks pretty healthy and should bounce out of it relatively quickly. 💚

This is how she is now. Two leaves turned yellow and the bottom leaves are so droopy is there anything else I can do ?

Oh nooo! I am sorry this happened! You can try to physically support those leaves with little stakes or even chopsticks to give them a little extra help. Keep up with the misting, and keep the soil slightly damp, but not soaking wet. Sometimes they can be a little stubborn and it can take a few weeks to a month or more to recover from transplant shock. There is a chance that you might end up losing those two lower droopy leaves. So far the rest of the leaves seemed to be OK and not too badly affected. Please give me posted. I hope that it perks back up and makes a full recovery for you. 💚
