# Hi there friends! I just recently become a plant mom to this…

Hi there friends! I just recently become a plant mom to this beautiful four year old monstera! When I got it some leaves were yellow, dry, crispy. What is the reason it’s doing this? I noticed she had it in the middle of the living room so I don’t think it got enough light when she had it, now it’s in front of a south facing window. No direct light.

Also should I cut those leaves off sinse they are dying or should I leave them?!

Has it been getting direct sun?

No

Unless previous owner did! Should I cut those leaves off?

Oops, just saw you already said that in your post, sorry. What kind of soil is it in?

#### send\_nodes respondió el 2024-06-19

Up to you if you want to remove the leaves. They’re just damaged but I don’t think they’ll die fully. If you do want to remove them, cut at the base of the stem
