# Trimmed a Monstera a few weeks ago of some of the smaller leaves at…

_Posted by Chloe on 2023-10-15_

Trimmed a Monstera a few weeks ago of some of the smaller leaves at the bottom.  
Haven’t seen new leaf growth in a few weeks. Any one have any suggestions?

Other details: trimmed only small leaves at the bottom  
Repotted also to ensure roots were good  
Regularly fertilising and watering as per the app recommendations

Sometimes trimming plus repotting gives the plant a bit of shock that it needs to recover from, which can take a few weeks. Also, if you’re in the northern hemisphere it’s getting close to dormant time.

Don't follow the apps watering schedule. Use your fingers and eyes to determine if it is dry. Monstera don't like wet feet and like being on the drier side. As the other user mentioned it is also close to winter dormancy or could just be in shock from both a trim and repot
