# Could anyone tell me why my Monstera MC has these brown, crispy…

_Posted by CandyTC🪷 on 2024-02-22_

Could anyone tell me why my Monstera MC has these brown, crispy things on the stems? This  
plant has always had green stems but recently I’ve noticed that a few of the stems have these brown bits.  
Also some of the leaves 🍂 tips are browning on the edges, not sure why either.  
I haven’t moved the plant, I did rotate it so that the smaller leaves in the back are now up front.  
I only water when the soil is dry all the way down.  
Thank you for any help or advice! 🙏

Also the leaves do look a bit dusty, wiping them off may help a bit too!
