# Good Morning Everyone! ☀️🪴 Can anyone tell that if a monstera leaves…

Good Morning Everyone! ☀️🪴 Can anyone tell that if a monstera leaves start to turn in on itself means it needs water. I stuck a little skewer stick in the soul and it comes out a little dark on the tip.  
You see I’m super paranoid because my last monstera had root rot.

Limp leaves or stems is a sign it needs water. I would not water with just the smallest leaf curling if the skewer shows over an inch of wetness and the skewer is soaked. I would wait a couple of days and check again.
