# a few leaves of my monstera are turning yellow, is it from over…

a few leaves of my monstera are turning yellow, is it from over watering or should I repot it because it's time to? I have not had any issues so far and given how big the plant is, it might be a long-overdue repotting

Have you taken it out of the pot and checked to see what the roots look like? A few roots poking out here or there isn’t bad, but if the plant is severely root bound, I’d say it’s time to repot

will check, thank you!

If it’s not root bound, then it’s probably due to overwatering. Make sure to water when the soil is dry. That’s usually a good rule to follow unless this plant has specific water needs

I’ve been having the same issue :/ I swear I’m not overwatering but they keep yellowing slowly

#### Cece ha respondido el 2024-05-06

Are the leaves getting enough light?

I’m having the same problem! My monstera is starting to look so sad, and I can’t tell if it’s light or water (and it’s making me crazy)🤪

Specifically with yellowing / droopy leaves 🥲
