Please help me! Idk why my monstera is browning. It’s happening on two leaves. The rest look really healthy! I just repotted him last night.

looks like bacterial leaf spot. cut off affected leaves and use a copper-based fungicide on the whole plant

I don’t have any copper fungicide at the moment. Does neem oil help?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-08-03

it will buy you a few extra days to find a proper fungicide, but neem oil alone won't kill the infection. neem oil is antifungal, not antibacterial unfortunately

#### Samie replied on 2026-08-03

Any brands you recommend?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-08-03

i use natria's disease and fungus control and i hear good things about captain jacks copper fungicide

#### Samie replied on 2026-08-03

Thank you so much! One last question: when trimming affected leaves, should I trim the whole stem too or just the leaf?
