# In need of some advice. I bought this lovely monstera albo mid…

_Posted by Mia T on 2025-01-12_

In need of some advice. I bought this lovely monstera albo mid October. Shes been doing okay (although not grown at all), however recently I’ve noticed brown spotting at the edge of the leaves. Any advice, is this something i should be worried about?

My albo went through an adjustment period when I first brought it home where all the leaves browned. But the new leaves that sprouted did not 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you, that’s encouraging. How long did the adjustment period last?

about 2 weeks. It was my first albo and I thought I would lose the plant, but it’s sprouted 5 new leaves since I’ve had it and all the new leaves have not browned.

Browning on the very edges like that can indicate over guttation. Next time you water, make sure the soil is dry. If it's still wet or fairly moist when you stick your finger in, skip it a few days

my monstera thai does this, ive been told its just because of the lack of chlorophyll in the white parts, sadly all i do is just cut the brown parts off
