My tips on my Monstera are turning brown. What could be the problem? Do I need to clip? Propagate?

When I have this issue it’s usually a lack of humidity

### Nikiller commented on 2026-07-15

With just the tips being brown, this is typically a moisture issue, either humidity or soil. Make sure you have it in enough humidity and if it is, then make sure it’s getting the right amount of watering. If you aren’t getting it watered as soon as it likes then occasionally a tip will be sacrificed to ensure the plant doesn’t suffer further.

I agree it looks like a humidity issue

What are some recommendations to create humidity?

#### Nikiller replied on 2026-07-15

My go to recommendation is to get a used humidifier on amazon, they’re typically brand new returns that have nothing wrong and you can get a fancy 100$ humidifier for 20-30$  
If you can’t do a humidifier then there isn’t really much to do for humidity other than creating a greenhouse style environment around the plant, but that’s kinda hard to do with a monstera as they get so large.
