# Hi! I have a Monstera Albo. I think the pot is getting small and will…

_Posted by Mercedes on 2024-12-19_

Hi! I have a Monstera Albo. I think the pot is getting small and will need to repot soon but I have a question. I'm not sure what to do about the white leaf areas that are browning? Can I cut the leaf or just leave it alone? I also have a new leaf that is not yet unfurled but is turning brown. What can I do so this doesn't keep happening?

The white part will brown quicker in ambient humidity, but its fairly common as that part has no chlorophyll.  
I think you actually have an Epipremnum pinnatum Albo, not monstera but easily mixed up!

I think you're right, thanks!

Yes, you can just clip the browning areas off. You can also supplement with Silica, it really helps the browning issue on the white
