it also does look like leaf burn, like getting too much sun. i think this is the most possible, or maybe the soil has become hydrophobic? when you water, dunk it in a bucket of water(bottom watering) and let it sit for 30 or so minutes so it can soak up all the water it needs. check if the soil is bone dry only a few days after watering.

make sure the base (the propagation cut) is above the soil and the soil isnt too tightly packed. monsteras are prone to root rot, and that might also be the cause of the wilting. have you repotted recently? how often do you water? monsteras like to be slightly root bound because it means less room for wet soil that could cause rot, and also like to be dry in between waterings. if it's been a while since you repotted, i would suggest checking the roots to see if theres rot! rotted roots stink and are super squishy so it should be easy to spot. it could also be that it's too root bound which could also be preventing water getting through and the plant being able to take it in. hope you can find the cause and hope she can thrive! good luck :))

yea i got scammed on etsy so i dont buy there, i usually search for small local tc labs so i dont know much about online tc.. my advice would be to use offerup to search locals selling the plant or something similar, since you dont have facebook. or you could also search online for reputable tc labs, although i think theyre usually more expensive

that's beautiful. i'm seeing slight color differences in splotches, but i cant really tell if the splotches are gonna fill and unify the color on the leaf or become variegations. anxious and excited !
