Why is my monstera getting yellow leaves? It’s in fairly bright indirect light and I water when it’s fully dry

I’m here for this too, mines the same! Drops random leaves but still grows new ones… I’m so confused! 😭

When was it repotted last? It could be root bound.

Not that long ago but I will check on the roots

#### Arlo replied on 2024-08-26

Is it possible you’re over fertilizing it?

Mine has been getting yellow leaves like crazy. 2-3 at a time and I can’t figure it. Isn’t root bound not over or under watering. Been trying to see if it’s the light but I put it back in the spot it thrived last summer/fall and 3 new leaves turned yellow. Maybe lack of humidity?
