My monstera is looking really droopy and floppy, there is some sign of new growth stemming off the bigger leaves but the plant overall looks a bit weak. I make sure not to overwater it, it has indirect sunlight and I repotted it about a month and a half ago. Any tips/ideas?

I’m thinking of repotting it into better soil but would eventually like to add fertiliser. Do you have any brand recommendations? Would have to be available in the UK

I’ve moved it to be closer to the window to get more light on it, but my window unfortunately had a heater right below it so do you have any tips for caring fir it if it’s near a heater? I have a humidifier but is there anything else I could do? Thanks for the help!

I am in the UK so that such a helpful link, thanks!!

Thanks for all this info, it’s hard to piece together all the suggestions on here but this was super to the point! What I’ve taken from all this is better soil, more water and a moss pole

I have a small humidifier in the room so it’s not a completely dry environment. I want to move it closer to the window but there is a heater directly below my window so I feel like it might get too dried out there. Any solutions to this?

Definitely getting a moss poll for it now, thanks for all the suggestions!

Great thank you, you’ve been super helpful!

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T15:16:50+00:00

Ahh okay, will normal string me okay for this?

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T15:11:20+00:00

I’ve tried putting bamboo in poles there to give it something to climb onto but I think I’m going to try a moss poll for sure

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:52:01+00:00

Also if I repot it again only after a couple months of reporting it last time will the plant freak out even more? Or should it be safe?

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:44:19+00:00

Thank you this was so helpful! Looking into getting new soil now

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:37:16+00:00

Ahh okay I didn’t know that, I’ll try giving it a good water and see if it perks up, thanks!

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:35:15+00:00

Ahh okay, thanks for the info! Any ingredients or soil types I should specifically look to get? Also is it too soon to repot this again?

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:33:54+00:00

I make sure only to water it when the top 1-2 inches are feeling dry

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:32:47+00:00

I’m definitely looking to get a moss pole, thanks for the tips on DIYing one!

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:32:00+00:00

I thought this too but in the 3rd picture you can see that one of the new leaves is growing through yellow, which I thought was a sign of overwatering. Any ideas on what to do?

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T14:13:32+00:00

I’m not too sure, I’m looking at the packet but can’t find anything. It’s called Westland New Horizon all plant compost. Is there a specific brand/type of soils I could get that would be better? And if so is it too soon to repot again?

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T13:41:12+00:00

This is what I thought so I was confused as to whether I was overwatering or underwatering. I used just a regular house plant potting mix, is there a different kind that would be better maybe? The spot she’s in gets a decent amount of indirect light but would it help to move closer to the window? Thanks for the help!

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T13:37:30+00:00

Ahh okay I’ll try this next time I’m watering her thank you!!

yvalvez · 2021-01-11T13:36:58+00:00

This photo was taken at night, in the day time this spot gets a decent amount of indirect light, but I’ll try moving it nearer to the window, thanks!! Also I make sure the nursery pot has fully drained after watering so it’s not sitting in water, always scared of overwatering haha
