Why Are My Monstera Leaves Curling Upwards. For instance I have a medium-sized fairly young Monstera Deliciosa in a ceramic pot that has only just begun to fenestrate and it needs to be watered about once a week. 535k members in the houseplants community.
I noticed that its leaves are curling down compared to when I first brought it home. Other causes include overwatering low light fertilizer problems pests or transplant stress. Pot your Monstera in loose peaty soil to ensure proper drainage and aeration of the roots.
Curling leaves are often a symptom of under watering andor too much mineral salts in the soil.
Heat stress causes rapid evaporation so plants curl up to conserve moisture. Sort of makes sense I guess. Probably the most common reason your Monstera leaves are turning yellow is from the soil being too dry. They like their soil to always be slightly damp.
