# Hi friends of foliage! Some questions about my monstera adon I think…

_Posted by Show me the Greens! on 2024-07-25_

Hi friends of foliage!  
Some questions about my monstera adon  
I think I may have had it in too direct of sun a few weeks ago and it got crispy brown edges. It has since grown new leaves. Should I leave the browned leaves or cut them (at the base?)?  
It doesn’t hold water when I do water and feed it. Is that a sign that it needs repotting?  
I wondering if it needs something to climb up?  
Thanks for your help!

If it’s not holding water, that’s definitely a sign it’s time to repot. Are the roots coming out the bottom of the pot or out of the top of soil? That’s an additional way of knowing it’s time to repot
