Mini monstera, why is it dropping leaves? It was doubled in height, but the light in the corner wasn’t enough for good leaves. The breaks between leaves were too large. So I cut it back, added a moisture meter(which is reading fine) and added lights. Pls help, (the yellow leaves shown do not account for the 10+ in the last week

How long has it been since you cut it back and increase the lighting? It might still be adjusting to new conditions

Cut it back two weeks ago, gave it better light 3 days ago

I would think maybe it would stop dying at least haha

One would hope! It’s almost like they enjoy watching us stress out over dying leaves 🤪 Jokes aside, I’m sure the increased lighting is helping even if you can’t see the benefits yet. That’s good that you’re monitoring moisture too. Mine will drop leaves if it sits with water in the tray or dries out too much between waterings. But they’re tough little plants! I hope yours is doing better soon

Yeah look like over watering. They like the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
