Hey everyone, my monstera popped out its first leaf and I’m wanting to know if it’s supposed to be this light yellow/ white color? I water once every week and a half, use grow lights, humidifier, and the roots were healthy last time I checked. Any suggestions?
ummm yea the new leaves can be lighter. as it unfurls itll probably darken in color

It’ll be a lighter green color, not light yellow/white. When I have leaves unfurling that yellow/white color, they never unfurl because that means I’ve been under watering and that new leaf didn’t survive 😅… I don’t want to say that’s the case with yours… just sharing my opinion based on experience with my plants.
1 like I figured it was either under watering or the pot might be too big, definitely gonna start watering slightly more frequently!
0 likes If your pot is 1” to 2” bigger than the root ball, then it’s fine. If the pot is way bigger than that then be careful with more watering. A pot too much bigger than the root ball increases the chance of overwatering which leads to root rot
