# Hi, I recently received a Monstera Albo in the mail and I’m not sure…

_Posted by Em’s plant life on 2025-05-08_

Hi, I recently received a Monstera Albo in the mail and I’m not sure what to do? The leaves look damaged possibly sunburn but I’m not certain. And I just found root rot. And It seems to be in general-purpose soil, and I’ve watered it once with Monstera plant food. I’d really appreciate any help to save it!

I would put it in aroid mix and when you are repotting it, Cut off the mushy roots, wash the roots off with hydrogen peroxide to kill off the root rot. Then cut off The sick looking leaves
