It’s my first and I’m concerned about this yellowing. It hasn’t been repotted just bought like this from Costco.

Hi! I’m by no means an expert here but when I first got my monstera its bottom leaves did the same thing. you might wanna repot and make sure you don’t see any root rot but mine is doing absolutely perfect now, I’ve heard so many others have the same thing and nothing was wrong with them! Again I totally could be wrong but i wouldn’t stress just yet! Hoping the best for you and your plant!

Pretty normal for old leafs to die off also!

### Dee4Life commented on 2025-01-15

It could just be adjusting to its new environment

### Nic0le M commented on 2025-01-15

Probably adjusting to its new home, I would chop that off so the plant doesn’t waste its energy on that leaf

### Ryan commented on 2025-01-15

Thanks I actually just removed it. It was rottening by the roots. I’m thinking of repotting it.

I'd worry if it were new leaves yellowing. Your plant looks alive and kicking!
