# i bought my monstera plant recently from ikea and wanted to nurse it…

_Posted by Annie on 2024-05-29_

i bought my monstera plant recently from ikea and wanted to nurse it back to health after it had a fungal infection and pests. the app recently recommended i put her outside but it only seemed to add these black spots to her leaves. i’m at a loss, does anyone know what i should do to help fix this issue??

The black spots could be from sun burn so make sure to place it in a shady spot that gets lots of bright indirect light in the morning or it could be due to lack of watering so make sure to just pay attention
