I usually push my monstera outside on the balcony early in the morning and move her back before the evening sun gets too harsh. But I left her out longer than usual one day and noticed this black spot. It’s only on one of the leaves. Could this be sunburn? I’ve seen leaves turn yellow when scorched by the sun but never black. Any ideas?
