Some leaves from my monstera are turning black, is it due to a lack of sun? Because I recently moved it from where it was before and it used to be right by the window and is now a bit further back.

    To me this looks like root rot. Lack of sun looks like stretching and leaning stems and pale leaves.

    Your friend’s Monstera adansonii has blackened leaves, which can indicate a few possible issues: 1. Inconsistent Watering or Overwatering: Black leaves are often a sign of overwatering, which can lead to root rot. If the soil stays too wet, it can suffocate the roots and cause damage to the leaves. Make sure the soil has good drainage, and allow the top layer to dry out before watering again. 2. Sudden Changes in Environment: Moving the plant away from bright, indirect light can stress it, causing the leaves to turn black. While the plant does not need direct sunlight, it does require bright, indirect light to thrive. Try moving it closer to a window with filtered light to see if the condition improves. 3. Cold Drafts or Low Temperatures: Monstera adansonii prefers warmer temperatures. If it has been exposed to cold drafts, air conditioning, or generally low temperatures, the leaves may blacken. Make sure the plant is in a stable, warm environment. 4. Fertilizer Burn or Nutrient Issues: If recently fertilized, excessive nutrients can cause damage to the leaves, leading to black spots or edges. It’s best to use a diluted balanced fertilizer and ensure that the soil is not overloaded. To help the plant recover, trim off any affected leaves with clean scissors to prevent further stress, and adjust its light and watering routine accordingly. A consistent environment and care routine are essential for Monstera adansonii to stay healthy!
