Q.Why My Monstera Leaves Are Curling And Tips Facing Downwards

Zone London UK | Anonymous added on May 12, 2021 | Answered

Hello, can you tell me why my monstera leaves are droopy and curling downwards? Even the stems are droopy and leaves hanging vertically? I live in London (UK) in a flat with south west facing window with lots of light and low humidity, that’s why I mist it occasionally, but still the leaves are hanging downwards. I only water it thoroughly when the first top inch of the soil is dry and fertilise it once a month.Are the leaves not getting enough water that’s why they are droopy?

You may want to consider repotting your plant if you haven't done so in some time. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/swiss-cheese-plant/repotting-cheese-plants.htm
Sometimes a slow wilt like this can indicate root rot. It sounds like you're doing everything else well, so you might consider this possibility as well:
