My new monstera has random crispy brown edges. What can I do? I recently repotted her, but the crispy brown edges showed up a week before.

low humidity/ too much light. probably low humidity, as the leaves look to be sitting at the right angle. you can mist occasionally to prevent this, but a humidifier will always be better.

Thank you! Do you know how often i should use a humidifier and for how long should it run?

depends on your area. if you livr in a drier area you should have it on high for most of the day. if you live in a tropical zone, a few hours on a medium setting should be fine. it takes a little tinkering to figure out
