# Hello plant community :) I could really use some help or advice on…

_Katarina Piña님이 2024-04-23에 게시함_

Hello plant community :) I could really use some help or advice on what I should do to help my monstera. I got my monstera in 2021 and for years it was flourishing. This winter did not treat him well though. The soil would stay wet for maybe 3-4 weeks after watering bc of how cold my apartment got (it’s an old not well insulated apartment). Since, I have been struggling to keep him alive. He’s lost a total of 6 leaves (3 grown, 3 small) and he’s on the way of losing more. He currently sits in my living room by an East facing window so he gets loads of indirect light, it’s never been a problem before.

I’m questioning if maybe he just needs to be repotted. I’ve put it off for over a year now because I’m afraid I won’t do it properly or the soil may not be correct. Lots of uncertainty over what I should do to help him.

If anyone has any suggestions I’d really appreciate it 🙏🏼

I don’t see any on the leaves or stems, could these be in the roots?

I would repot and give it some support also!

I would repot! You can use general all-purpose potting soil. I agree with the previous comment, garden stakes for support would help.

Looks like it’s reaching for more light to me.
