Yellow leaves and a mushy stem base point to overwatering - this vining monstera is more prone to rot than its larger cousin if left sitting wet.

Leaves droop and curl inward, and new leaves emerge smaller than usual when the plant is consistently underwatered.

A fast grower on a moss pole or trellis in warm months drinks more than the same plant left to trail in a cooler room in winter.

Give it something to climb - Monstera adansonii develops larger, more fenestrated leaves when grown vertically rather than left to trail.
