Hi, I am new to this. I picked this up from the nursery, the leaves were alreay like this. Was hoping I can save it. Does this indicate too much water or not enough? I’ve read I need to repot after bringing it home from the nursery?. Please advise.

looks very over crowded! You could probably repot it and cut it into separate plants/ fix it so that all the monsteras are facing one direction so they can climb up a trellis or moss pole!

This looks like a monstera deliciosa. If it is, the brown is probably from overwatering. Monstera like to be crowded, so I would leave it until it shows you it’s unhappy…
