My monstera is looking a bit droopy and sad

Question

Hi! When I first got my monstera the lady I bought it off of had just replanted it from splitting up the larger plant. It was standing up right and looking happy! Now the 2 stems are separated and the leaves are looking droopy. I haven’t watered it too much because I’m scared of root rot. Should I be reporting it to a bigger pot? Or what should I do?! I live in a basement apartment so there is no direct sunlight, I’d say it’s mostly low light during the day. Help!

If your plant's in soil that drains well, you should not be shy about keeping it moist, which is what the plant likes in its natural habitat. I'm thinking it may not be getting enough light - even though it doesn't need direct sun, it does need some light. Here are two articles that will help:
