# Good morning fellow plant lovers! One of my monkey mask monstera…

_Posted by AllieB on 2025-10-25_

Good morning fellow plant lovers! One of my monkey mask monstera newbie from water cuttings is putting out leaves with brown areas. I had it under a 12 hour grow light but moved it to a window wondering if the grow light was burning it? My other cuttings haven’t done that.  
Thoughts?

them unfurling already damaged says fungal infection to me. give it a good pruning, put it under a fan or near a door that opens frequently for better air circulation, and treat with neem oil.
