It could be - take the plant out and have a look. What potting mix is the monstera in? Some suppliers use a mix heavy on the moss/coir which is really good at retaining water. Take some of the soil out and add in some perlite or orchid bark. Switching to a terracotta pot can also help. 

The best way to dry a plant out is to leave it outside, but I get that that isn’t always an option in cold/wet countries. A few minutes with a blow dryer (set to cool) will do the job (I didn’t just make that up by the way, professional cactus growers do this!)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have the same problem as Cal, I haven&#039;t watered my monstera in weeks and the soil is still pretty damp. And some (older) leaves are starting to yellow. Also, I misted the leaves several weeks ago so not sure if that&#039;s the reason why. I stopped misting since. Is root rot the culprit?]]></description>

Yeah, there’s definitely a risk. What soil are you using? It’s incredible that it’s stayed moist for a month. Is someone else secretly watering it?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this information and appreciate it so much. I have a question. If I watered my Monstera a month ago and the soil still feels moist at the top, am I going to give it root rot by having it sit in moist soil for a month or longer (because it’s still pretty moist)? Thank you.]]></description>

It’s called guttation and it’s totally normal - basically the plant takes up too much water and expels it through the leaves. It CAN be a sign of overwatering but it also happens in healthy plants. As long as you’re not watering when the soil’s wet it’ll be fine.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the articel, very helpful! I&#039;ve had my new monstera for a couple weeks - water about 1x per week when moisture meter is dry, and pretty much follow the water instructions here. I&#039;ve noticed that after watering my Monstera has water droplets at the end of the leaves for a few days -  xylem sap so the internet says. Do you know if that&#039;s just natural? Or is that a sign of over watering? Thanks!]]></description>
