# This monstera was doing really well, I grew it from a cutting I was…

This monstera was doing really well, I grew it from a cutting I was given. I came home to find this leaf was slightly wilted with brown marks. What could this be? My leading theory is that it got burned touching the window during the current heatwave but I wanted some second opinions.

Ouch! No idea but I would think burn too, I know that my succulent leaves were turning black in my east window and so I had to pull it back to my coffee table instead

This is an east window too! Honestly I'm glad this is a leaf coming from a little baby shoot from the bottom of the plant so I don't mind cutting it off if need be. The fenestrated leaf is just a couple weeks old and I was so excited to see it pop up!
