Got these 2 monstera at the same time back in August. The both showed zero growth until about 2 weeks ago when I repotted them. The mini monstera, the top leaf just unfurled the other day and it’s already got new growth right below it. And the other monstera in back,yes I know there’s brown in it, I bought it with that already in there and it’s never gotten any worse. it gave me a new leaf a week ago and it’s about to unfurl another. I used the same soil mix for all my plants. I don’t really have measurements I just kind of eyeball it. I mix it into a tub and only mix up the amount I’m using so it stays fresh. And I pretty much do equal parts of all 4. And I use a basic miracle grow fertilizer.

    I think you may have spidermites. I hope I'm wrong, but I believe I can see what looks like webbing to me.

      Yeah, I just ran around and sprayed all the plants. Not the first time I’ve seen some webbing on plants lol

      Those brown spots have been on those leaves since I bought the plant months ago. They haven’t gotten any worse. The leaves are still living so I don’t get rid of them.

      Ehh no big deal really. Between my cat palm and bird of paradise and billietae, I’m always cleaning webbing off one of them lol that’s why I keep those 3 together

    I couldn't help but notice one of your vines is planted upside-down. Could be why there is no new growth on that one.

      Lol! Definitely could have been the culprit. Maybe chop that one stem off, reroot, and plant it back in the pot right way up.

      I’m still figuring out propagation of plants and how to with each plant lol. So here’s a picture tell me if I’m right or wrong. Chop there and put this end in water? Or straight into the soil? Had the point and make scissors with my fingers cause for some reason Planta does not like when I draw on my pictures and upload them lol
