# Hello plant peeps! I am new to caring for this beautiful monstera…

_Lagt ut av MercyGreen den 2024-04-16_

Hello plant peeps! I am new to caring for this beautiful monstera (Coco), however, I love this plant and the leaves it produces. Worried about the browning parts on her though. Recently repotted and pruned her because of root rot and pest that were deep down in the soil. Any useful information or tips on keeping this plant healthy and happy? Don’t want to kill her before she takes off and flourishes. 😅💚

In the second photo it looks like a good chunk of that browning is on old leaf sheaths. I’ve had that happen to my Ursula, it doesn’t seem to hurt her. I usually just wait till it’s mostly brown then carefully pull it off.  
I’ve found mixing orchid bark into the soil I’m using to be really helpful with my plant. Helps with creating air pockets near the roots and with water drainage. 🌱

I don’t see anything in the pictures I’d be worried about. Plant looks healthy to me.
