Is there any way to treat sunburn on monsteras? I made the mistake of leaving mine outside a little too long and I’m not sure what to do about it now

Sadly the sunburns will always be there, so if they’re super damaged, you could trim the leaf off. This will allow the plant to save the energy it was putting into that leaf, and direct it to a new leaf instead

I’ve done the same thing before. Some leaves might regain some color within the first few days after the sunburn. If they don’t, you can snip the unsightly ones.
