New plant mom here. I recently got my Monstera from Lowes. She was tucked in a dark place under a whole bunch of other plants. I have her right near a window and have only had her 1 week but even the new leaves have brown spots. Any ideas or suggestions!?

Leaves develop damage like this with inconsistent watering usually. I think just get the soil \& light right and give it time to adjust 😊

I actually had this problem with one new leaf as well. Do they ever heal themselves or grow any bigger? Should you just leave it be or prune it?
