any tips on what to do? my monstera was doing amazing but a leaf turned yellow \& one leaf is starting to dry at the tip! she gets watered regularly \& has a grow light to mimic the sun during the winter!

Empty out the water in the pot (if there is any) and let it dry out for about a week, no water. The leaves are drooping due to excessive water so letting it dry out and patience is key

Make sure that window isn’t getting too much sun or cold. If that’s a south facing window you’ll want to move her back.

get a humidifier or mist regularly. that spotting along the edges isn't normal, though. check thoroughly for pests, fungus, or root rot.
