# Hi everyone, I bought this Monstera plant last fall and been having…

_Posted by CG on 2024-01-11_

Hi everyone,

I bought this Monstera plant last fall and been having issues with the leaves drooping, the leaf turning dry and kinda crispy?! I'm not sure the term for this!

I diagnosed with Planta and they think my plant did not get enough light and possibly underwatered hence the drying leaves.

I immediately bought plant light for her and been using it for 2 weeks. I think it has improved? I'm not sure, also I would like to cut off these leaves on the pictures I attached, will that be a problem?

And as for the peace lily, I have it for 3 years why does it droops so much? In the summer time, it does flower though..  
Did I not give enough water? Was it problem with humidity? My place is too cold? I have never repot it because did not notice any roots coming out of the bottom of the pot.

TIA for the help and input.

Both need more water I’d say. Peace lilies droop when they want water. Will perk right up. Monstera love humidity and moist not wet soil. Well draining aerated soil and a pot that drains.

I watered the Lily yesterday, until the water came out of the drain holes. Should I water it again or wait til the soil dries out ? Should I try bottom watering? Sorry with all the questions 😅😅😅

Water it really good and let all the excess drain out. Be sure the soil all gets water and absorbs.

Peace lily loves water and humidity !! The humidity for a peace lily is a game changer she will love it!! They like to be misted and I have a humidifier for mine!

#### CG replied on 2024-01-11

What humidifier are you using? Thanks 😊

Any kind of small humidifier with no essential oil :) I got mine on Amazon and I place it about 2 feet away from the plant
