_Posted by Michelle on 2025-02-04_

My first Monstrosa already has a problem. Little veiny starting to yellow leaves. My thoughts are

1\. Just moved her to a too sunny area  
2\. Wrong type of soil: all purpose potting soil  
3\. Water imbalance.

Thoughts?

I use tropical soil for my Monstera. I also fertilize with tropical fertilizer and she hasn’t had any problems.

Have you checked the roots? The soil may be too dense.

I have not. I think I need to repot her in different soil.

Mine did that with too much sun too quickly, just move it back from the light a little then ease it back over time

Good idea!
