It seems to be drooping at the bottom where the stem is heavy and thick. It’s not growing as much new leaves and honestly looks a bit naked, not as bushy as it used to be. Is there something I i need to do to improve its health? Would be very grateful for the feedback! Thank for reading🙏🏻💗 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/e7iLFbPV51_-99WNXB3TAD6o2bwSpXDnIE5po0tDiz0/pRTLi5CSRWW04wb4uNCkAw.webp?size=large) ## 11개의 댓글 ### monster\_maniac님이 2025-03-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. is there drainage? also monstera like to drynout between waterings but kept in a humid area. if the light is direct then that cab lead the atems to grow all over the place #### Amina님이 2025-03-14에 답변했습니다. There is, but i feel like the soil doesn’t let it work. Probably would have to repot and change the soil. Thanks! ### monster\_maniac님이 2025-03-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. you cab propagate to encourage more growth or hold some of the stems w a claw clip and add a moss pole #### Amina님이 2025-03-14에 답변했습니다. I fs would need a moss pole👀 thank you! #### monster\_maniac님이 2025-03-14에 답변했습니다. i acc just repotted my big monstera deliciosa. and broke it into 3 different plants to i cant grow them closer tgthrr snd make it bunchier ### BotanicalBrooke님이 2025-03-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. I would give it more light, and repot it to a bigger pot with new soil and take off any fine roots that are just taking up space. ### Phil님이 2025-03-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. Stems are weak and thin, leaves have almost no fenestrations, and almost no growth in a year. Your plant needs much more light. On a side note, your soil looks as if it is very organic with little drainage. It may help to loosen it up with more grit. And I’m assuming your pot has a drain hole in bottom. #### Sunny님이 2025-03-13에 답변했습니다. I fully agree that it needs more light. A grow light for 12 hours a day is an alternative. I would make sure to fertilize at least once a month or dilute it 50% and fertilize twice a month. I would not repot until it’s almost pot bound #### Amina님이 2025-03-14에 답변했습니다. Thanks! That’s very helpful! I’ll definitely consider your advises. I actually started looking at the pictures of it that i took last year and realised that monstera lost a lot of volume☹️ i always try to keep my curtains open, but my windows aren’t as big and not as much light is coming in. I guess I would have to purchase a lamp. ### Dandelion🌼님이 2025-03-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. If you’re like, rotating it a little bit too much stop rotating a little bit too much. If you are, that’s why it didn’t have many holes in it. #### Amina님이 2025-03-14에 답변했습니다.
