Awww man, I'm sure you gave it the best first-aid you could. Bet whoever did it thought they were just killing 2 birds with one stone, giving the plant a drink and keeping water off of the floor.

Sarah, that's awful. Do you know who moved it?
I'd have a heart to heart with him/her. Explain he/she will kill the Monstera.

Do you have any say-so in the matter?

If they want to catch water so it doesn't hit the floor, they should put a bucket underneath, but more important, the ceiling shouldn't be leaking. Toni

I validate your horror!!!

I hope it recovers and the leak gets fixed.

I have to validate your horror, too!

It reminds me of people who water once a week whether plants need it or not, then allow them to sit in saucers of water forever! Or folks who use dirt from their yard for houseplants! Oh, the horror!

No such thing as a green thumb! It's really applied knowledge!

I say so'ed that plant right back to the spot under the sunroof. It seems to be doing well actually, I must have caught it before the soaking had caused any damage, or it's just not showing any side effects yet.
Thanks for the validation, I was guffawing and gasping and the co workers I was sharing with would just say "oh, is that bad for it?" Harumph!

Sounds like this may be one of those things that looks bad but turns out to be good. What a big ripple (if you are familiar with the term "ripple effect!" Try to imagine all of the future plants that will NOT be killed by the people who heard you complaining about this plant sitting in water. It's humbling. Good for you, and this plant!
