# the right half of my monstera pot is a rescue because my sister gave…

_Posted by wolo on 2023-07-15_

the right half of my monstera pot is a rescue because my sister gave me her severely sunburnt monstera and I often see advice online that trimming back leaves that are more than 50-80% damaged may help the plant push new growth.  
I CANT DECIDE- to chop or not to chop?? (chopping the burnt leaves would take down 3 leaves im sure she can recover but I don’t want to make a rash decision to chop them either!)
