Anyone know why my monstera is beginning to look like this? I thought it may be from pests but not sure. Any advice on how to treat it?

What am I looking at? The brown on the stems? That’s 100% normal. This looks very healthy.

Though it does look like you have 3 plants growing in different directions. This could be a problem down the road as they are climbing plants. You’ll want to give it a trellis or moss pole to climb and it will give you larger leaves.

Same !! If it’s the brown you are asking about , I have it too!!

The brown is completely normal and that plant looks healthy
