My Monstera is not looking very happy! βΉοΈ
@calvina thanks for your reply.
It has been like this for the last 3 weeks. I water 2/3 times a month. It is in regular multi purpose store bought soil π«£

@TJphilobsessed thank you! I will look at getting better draining soil
@KakoJohnson π anytime. You are part of my plant family. ππ±
@TJphilobsessed thank you! yes, itβs pretty cool!
@Eryss Thank you! Im glad your monstera recovered well. Fingers crossed that will work for me too!
Iβm sorry I was in vacay and delayed on my reply. I agree with both the soil and light suggestion. It looks pretty far from the window in this photo and in my experience, my monsteras perk up when they are less than 3 feet from the window. I also had a monstera that dropped terribly in the original soil it came in, once I repotted in some new soil, it started taking off like crazy. Monsteras are aroids and they LOVE chunky and well drained soil. If you have some potting soil laying around, add some more pumice or perlite (I prefer pumice) and orchid bark to it and it will improve it quite a bit. I like to make my own, so I use coco coir as a base and add orchid bark, pumice, worm castings to fertilize, and then some horticultural charcoal. My monsteras love it.
@calvina thank you very much for the suggestions!
I have now moved them closer to the window as in this picture. Over the next few days, I will make a better soil mix as per your recommendations and repot it this week.
Thank you for the tips
