I watered it right away when I got it cuz I repotted it. Now going on week 2 and my app is saying I don’t water it for another 8 days. The soil is damn near completely dry, do I wait the 8 days or do I water like tomorrow. I have it in potting soil/perlite/orchard bark mix so it’s chunky. Also one of the leaves are turning my crispy at the end. That obviously means it needs more water? According to the app, it doesn’t want me to water it until about every 18th day. I feel like that’s not enough for a tropical plant. I mist every three days. ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/FgppdmldJu-7uYE1Nm59j0YYVcHsr2B6eVUPTEZ2e4I/8VAw9NaHR1a0rJ8y67E6kA.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/FgppdmldJu-7uYE1Nm59j0YYVcHsr2B6eVUPTEZ2e4I/FPOfAXpISDqEDVhhu_ShbQ.webp?size=large) ## 10개의 댓글 ### Stefanie Cooper님이 2026-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. If it’s dry, water it until water comes out the bottom. #### Emilyjune97님이 2026-01-30에 답변했습니다. I thought so. I guess the app has to get used to it’s schedule #### Stefanie Cooper님이 2026-01-30에 답변했습니다. Maybe so #### SJ님이 2026-01-31에 답변했습니다. There are various reasons the app guesstimates at first, but keep checking on your own and make sure you mark in the app that it needed water. That way it learns! A small part could be that it’s just extremely dry indoors with heaters running (if you’re in cold climate). Water now but if you regularly mist or give it higher humidity, the watering may go back to further stints in between. ### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿님이 2026-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yes, I agree with what Stephanie said above! Also, be sure to add the task in the app and your schedule will adjust 💚 #### Emilyjune97님이 2026-01-31에 답변했습니다. I definitely always do I jsut never had a monstera so I was scared lol ### Plant Mam님이 2026-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I agree with the others, but the leaves being crispy is also a sign that it needs more moisture. So I would mist it and/or get a humidifier going. Monsteras are used to warm, humid tropical climates so try to recreate that as much as possible. Good luck! #### Emilyjune97님이 2026-01-31에 답변했습니다. I have humidifier just a small one. And I just rearranged my whole living room to be able to have my plants in a east facing window instead of a north facing window ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/FgppdmldJu-7uYE1Nm59j0YYVcHsr2B6eVUPTEZ2e4I/cY9wpm1ZQeeF2y6fW_n_QQ.webp?size=large) ### Kingbetes님이 2026-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yeah I’d water if it’s dry. Maybe double check the plant settings in the app like distance to the window, pot size, etc? The app is great at keeping a schedule but still manually check before watering or completing other tasks. Good luck! ### Random Strands님이 2026-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. The app is pretty straight forward with the 18 days. Browning and such could be from it being bought and replanted and previously watered then repotted and watered again too soon. 18 days sounds pretty fair as long as you are watering well on water days. I personally would wait the few days before I watered again. They are pretty forgiving once on a routine. You just have to get the routine started. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
