When the leaves on my monstera curl, does that mean it’s thirsty? I was planning on watering it tomorrow. Also excited for this new leaf and considering buying another monstera that is a single plant instead of this one which is 3 I think.

Leaves can be curling for a number of reasons. Only way to check for sure if it’s needing to be watered is to physically check the soil with a wooden skewer or your finger. They like to dry out completely to the bottom of the pot before watering again. I snooze planta’s reminder one week if my monstera deliciosas are still moist when I check with a skewer.

You could asd some moss poles to help with the sagging! If its not a water issue

How do moss poles work?

They come in different sizes, you add it to the pot and tie somw of the mother stems to it to help give it some structure and not branch out so much and fall over

Heres an example (this is actually just a stick im using at the moment) but it was super saggy and had no structure, so i added some support and gave hwr a good mist
