Mine did that when it had root rot! Check the roots to be sure.

Roots are all dry (so I watered, it’s been a bit since I did) I have that thermometer for checking, so I am wondering if it’s under watering? Or a light issue?

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-06-30

Could be either. I’d just watch to see if any other leaves yellow.

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 replied on 2025-06-30

There is some yellowing on the other leaves!

How much humidity does this plant get?

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 replied on 2025-06-30

I wouldn’t say a lot, since it’s in my house and I have AC! I could move it outside…but it might shock it?

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 replied on 2025-06-30

I do mist it a lot though!

### Yolanda commented on 2025-06-30

That’s it stop misting it the droplets of water is not good for the foliage. Do get more humidity consider a humidifier or sit plant on a pebble tray, misting this plant will lead to fungal disease to the foliage.

I believe I have a humidifier tucked away, I’ll bring it out! I will stop misting, this app told me too! 🫣

### Yolanda commented on 2025-06-30

Also consider taking neem oil with a wet paper towel or just a wet paper towel and keep your leaves free of dust so the plant get more photosynthesis for growth

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 replied on 2025-07-01

I will clean the leaves again! When I brought it home a few weeks ago, I used paper towel to wipe it!

### Yolanda commented on 2025-07-01

Wipe with wet water and spray each leaf with neem oil this gives it a shine while fighting off the pest. FYI don’t listen to everything this app tells you😂😂😂I never mist

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 replied on 2025-07-01

LOL 😂 Noted girl! Thank you! 🙏🏼🫶🏻

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-07-02

I do not mist , either!

### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2025-07-01

Overwatering issue … also humidity is a must misting will not retain humidity ! I have over 5 monsteras and they do great with a humidifier

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 replied on 2025-07-03
