Can anybody help me figure out what’s going on, 2 new leaves unfurled and every since they have been little limp noodles.

Your soil may be a bit dry, and since the leaves are new they are more susceptible to wilting. You can check to see how wet your soil is by using a wooden dowel or chopstick and sticking it to the bottom of the pot and let sit for a minute. If it comes out cleanly then it needs watered, if soil clumps come up with it or the wood is wet then you should wait to water! But if your soil is dry, my first thing would be to water it and see if those leaves bounce back within a couple hours! If not there may be something else going on.

Like what? I have a Thai con that came in super drenched mossy soil so I repotted in a mix of chunky/perlite and watered. (I was terrified of root rot). The limp new leaf got a little better but it’s still limp.

Soul has been pretty moist, not anything crazy  
I did water and fertilize it, and let it outside. I think it may be my soul but I’m nervous

How long does it take for these to start splitting like that?  
I recently got one and didn’t think it was tagged right lol

It’s definitely a monstera deliciosa, but they can take a few years to start splitting, and they need more light than you would expect

#### K antwortete am 2024-05-15

Monstera deliciosa. The splitting doesn’t take too long (I’d say months, not years) as long as they have plenty of light. A physical support like a moss pole or wood plank is also helpful to encourage sizing up.

#### Tinkles antwortete am 2024-05-15

I haven’t used moss poles yet, but was looking for something like it for this guy! I just got it on Sunday, potted it today, it’s top heavy.  
I clipped them together and have a random small trellis type frame holding it till I got something!  
So thanks for helping on both plants!  
I tried separating the roots for the big two and smaller, but seemed like I was breaking too much….  
But I think that’d help put the taller ones deeper

(Sorry for changing plant topic lol)

Looks like new leaves that need to harden? Maybe try moving the grow light up a foot or so above the new leaves!

### Krista kommentierte am 2024-05-15

I have a leaf that unfurled maybe a month or so ago and never hardened, but the rest of the plant is fine. I was almost wondering if I could put some formed, thin wire under the leaf to make it look better at least. 🤔
