# Trying to take care of this Monstera deliciosa… Swiss Cheese Plant. I…

_Posted by Pamela on 2024-05-29_

Trying to take care of this Monstera deliciosa… Swiss Cheese Plant. I have done what the app recommended, and added a grow light, as I have this in my kitchen with no windows.

I also am following the water instructions now. This pot is one of those with the self watering with cotton string in bottom drain. It stayed way too wet on bottom, so I just cut the strings off.

The plant already seems to be doing better and is growing new leaves. But I’m concerned about the dried brown ends. Will it fix itself, or what do I do with this?

Thanks for any advise. This is my first Swiss Cheese plant. I’ve had it several months.

Brown ends do not go away. The leaves will eventually fall off, which is okay. If leaves keep turning brown, then there’s still an issue, probably with over/underwatering which you already seem to be aware of. Time will tell!

I figured, but was hoping there was a magic cure. I’ll keep an eye on this little bugger and pray for the best. Thanks 😊
