Hello! So my albo monstera has been with one leaf for the longest. Can anyone tell if there’s a node or if it’s considered a zombie leaf? Thank you in advance!

It does seem to have a node to me. What is the care like? Misting, humidifier? Temps? How much light does it get? monstera are also relatively slow growers

#### Sam replied on 2025-11-14

Thank you for responding 🙏🏽

I don't have any humidifiers for my plants but I have several plants grouped together. I mist infrequently.  
The temps at my house are roughly 68-75

Grow light about 12 hours long.

I'm thinking about putting it in a box to create some kind of humidity? The roots are growing

#### plantgeek replied on 2025-11-14

Some plants just refuse grow lights. They can tell the difference. Do you have space at any of your windows? more humidity would also help

#### Sam replied on 2025-11-15

I do have some space. I do see my plants that on my window thrive more better than my ones under a grow light. Didn’t think of that!  
Thank you 🙏🏽
