I’m embarrassed to even share this, but I need help! I left my monstera in the car and it got sunburned on a few leaves, but this is the worse one.

I’m new to the plant life and have no idea what to do! Any help is highly appreciated!!

My friend did the same to mine when my monstera was younger. Snip off the badly damaged leaves and give her some TLC for the next few weeks. She’ll bounce back.

Can I use any kind of scissors to cut it off? Also, where should I make the cut, the whole stem or just where the leaf begins?

Yes but clean them with some rubbing alcohol and or hydrogen peroxide use a sharp pair of scissors or better get garden shears to cut it.

I did this to one of my other plants. I watered it. It came back.
