I am new to Monstera plants. I’ve always wanted one. My friend just gave me this one as a gift. Can anyone tell me why this leaf is turning brown? I just sprayed it with spring water. Please advise me. Thanks!

Probably leaf burn. It’s not super necessary to mist it, but it helps. Possibly not enough humidity? Good luck! 👍

Thanks! I’ll put it closer to the humidifier.
