# Hey guys! I have two monstera albos. They sort of seemed to be…

_Posted by boomexa on 2025-10-08_

Hey guys! I have two monstera albos. They sort of seemed to be growing new leaves but after repotting, the leaves have been stuck like this for the past month or so. I live near Seattle area so the weather is cooling down a bit but my room doesn’t have a window that opens so it stays quite warm. Any idea why it’s stunted/any tips to get it growing? Or should I just wait it out for a few months?  
(I use silicate when watering - it prevents the white from browning completely!!! Could this be causing the stunting??)

could be in shock from the repot. as long as you’re caring for it as you normally do, it should be fine and open up once it gets accustomed to its new pot :)

Don’t forget about light, they need lots of light!

Yep!! I currently have four grow lights placed as close as 1 foot or less towards the plant! (They don’t emanate any heat) I hope that’s enough!
