Had to chop and prop my beloved Monstera today because it had crazy stem rot. I suspect it’s because it got put outside and these evil bugs called glassy-winged sharpshooters laid eggs in the leaves (they spread bacteria but there isn’t much information on them) Weirdest thing was the root system was completely healthy and it was only rotting at the stem and yellowing through the leaves. Fingers crossed it’ll bounce back but those in California beware! I wish I had never put it outside to begin with! Picture of the pest marks for those that might need help catching it someday.
