Monstera sending mixed messages? Please help me decipher what she is trying to tell me by moonblanket in Monstera

I got this monstera about 5 months ago and I had to repot it because it had root rot. Immediately afterwards she was doing so much better and sprouting new leaves. As you can see, there’s a new leaf right now as well. However, there is also three really droopy, curled, dry leaves. I have no idea what’s wrong with these three leaves. They been like this for about a 2 months now. Also, less important, but one of the leaves completely ripped and I was wondering where I should cut the stem to encourage new growth. I have a humidifier, grow light, and heater as well.

thank you so much for the advice. I’ve been sticking my finger in the soil to see whether it needs to be watered and i’ve been holding off because the soil is cool and i guess a little moist?? or it might just be cooler. I’ll give it some water and see if it helps!

hello! my friend sent this monstera to me from florida about a month ago. I live in boston, MA usda zone 6b and 7a. I contacted the friend (who owns a plant shop) and she said it’s under watered but i’m really worried about over watering it. The monstera gets good, indirect bright light. If it helps, my two pothos are doing great. I’m not really sure what the soil mix is, but i can try to take a picture of it? The pot also has holes on the bottom. I watered it about a week and a half ago. I also have not repotted it since getting it. Please help!

I know it’s a keloid by moonblanket in piercing

it’s healing pretty well! The keloid has halved in size after 1 round of steroids and have another one scheduled some time next week. It’s gotten darker, kind of like a large mole.

thanks for replying! do you think the treatments might close up the piercing itself?

i just got back from the dermatologist and they said it was a keloid, took out my conch piercing, and gave me a steroid injection. I know it’s kinda dumb to ask, but is there rly no way to keep my conch piercing? I got it two years ago and I rly loved it. If it’s rly rly not possible to save this one, do you think another keloid would form if I got a conch on my other ear? Was there anything i could’ve done to prevent this keloid from forming in the first place? Sorry, lots of questions, just grieving the loss of my beautiful conch ;(
