My monstera adansonii was doing well but all of a sudden the leaves started curling with light, thing spots developing on the leaves. I haven’t changed anything, any tips?

LavenderIn my personal opinion, I think I’d just let it be for awhile and see if anything happens like rotting, burning, drying etc. depending on how new the leaf is, sometimes they are really delicate and light in color till they age. It could possibly be overwatering but I’d have to see the rest of the plant to say for sure! Hope this helps! New year, new plant problems am I right?

How often do you fertilize and what kind do you use?

I use a bio based 3-1-5 liquid fertilizer

Ok I would suggest one with more nitrogen, but that might not be whats causing the problem. Also I don't know how much you dilute it or how often its recommended to fertilize for the fertilizer you're using, but I usually fertilize my monsteras once a month during the winter.

Usually when there are brown spots on my monsteras new leaves its from low humidity but if you're misting the leaves as they uncurl thats pry not the case.

It could also be not enough light. It does look a bit leggy. Where do you have it?

A few feet away from a southeast facing window

Ok good its pry not overwatered then. I'd check and see if it needs to be repotted, if not maybe try scooting it a little closer to the window and see what happens? I kinda doubt thats the issue but its a fairly easy thing to try. Switching your fertilizer might also help. The one I use is superthrive foliage pro, its a 9-3-6 and my monsteras love it. Just try to get one with more nitrogen. It could also be a disease of some sort but I wouldn't have a clue what.

Check out what happens when a plant gets too little nitrogen/ too much potassium and see if you think that matches whats happening here.

okay thanks so much! I’ve moved it closer to the window for now and am gonna let the soil properly drain out. I’ll check its roots…eventually bc I’m high key very lazy lol

Sounds great! They also like well draining soil so whenever you repot next you could add some perlite or bark. I have some in regular potting soil tho and they haven't done anything like this.
