What am I doing wrong? 😩 My Monstera is just not happy! She’s all crispy, yellow spots, browning stems. I don’t overwater but maybe I am underwatering? Any ideas? 😅🙏🏼

She looks very crowded, maybe check the roots and see if a repot is needed?

That’s a great idea! Bigger pot with drainage? It’s very tight in the black nursery pot she’s been in!

Yes but only upsize 2 in. I wouldn't go bigger then that.

#### Plantsmybeloved replied on 2025-07-22

Exactly!

Definitely needs a repot 😉

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 replied on 2025-07-22

I repotted today! 🙌🏼🎉🤞🏼 Went up 2 inches!
