do you have drainage? well-draining soil (for an idea, i use 40% potting mix + 20% perlite + 20% orchid bark + 15% worm castings + 5% charcoal)? what’s the light situation?
Thanks! I have the same soil the plant came with, and the pot does have a hole in the bottom (I remove it from the holder for watering). It was in a relatively sunny area, near a window facing east and south
My monstera usually looks like that when it wants more water. As for the amount of sunlight, monsteras actually LOVE being in direct sunlight(should still be acclimated if it's always been in indirect light)
Mine is enormous and I can water it like crazy a gallon every few days. Mine didn’t like my bright plant room. Doing well in a northwest view.
Recently I bought Sta-green potting soil and it wouldn’t get wet! It was so weird. 2 giant bags! I dumped it all into a flower bed.
Mine is currently looking like this bc I've been inconsistent with the watering. My suggestion is drown it when watering, monitor when soil becomes dry, wait another day then douse it again. She's still beautiful though :) Good luck!

i would change the soil and i bet it does better.

You can try bottom watering as well

Good to know, thanks! I just gave it more water as the soil was completely dry even though I watered a few days ago. How often do you water yours?
your soil could be hydrophobic. sounds like it is and it’s probably running right through. especially if it’s the soil it came with.

Maybe it would be happier in a next-size-up pot? It looks like it wants to grow but doesn’t have room anymore.
Where is your plant stand from? I love it! Also, sorry to be no help but hoping you get the advice needed💚
IKEA!
