# I’ve had this monstera for over a year and it has done so well with…

_Posted by Kristen on 2023-12-09_

I’ve had this monstera for over a year and it has done so well with me. This summer I put it outside to give it a little vacation and it really took off. I repotted it and brought it back inside for winter, and also started a liquid fertilizer. It’s popping off new growth everywhere. I think I’ve had between 5-7 new leaves in the last month. My concern is the brown spots on the older leaves and on some of the stems, and I am seeing little flying gnat-like bugs everywhere around this guy (pictured in the 3rd photo near the center of the leaf). Do I have a pest? What should I do?
