Any tips or tricks to help promote growth on my Monstera? I repotted her last August and since then she lost two leaves but hasn’t grown any…

Otherwise she’s doing great.

How’s the sun where it’s placed? I don’t know too much about plants, I’m still fairly new, but I use microfiber cloth or gloves to dust my monstera’s leaves and I also periodically spray water over it to increase the humidity. The leaves look like they could be cleaned up so they can photosynthesize better :)

It’s placed pretty close to the window. Where it gets indirect sunlight for most of the day.

I will definitely clean its leaves! Thank you

Good luck 😊

You can fertilize it with stuff in your kitchen, like coffee grounds or egg shells. I would also increase humidity if the environment is also on the dryer side- misting frequently or put a humidifier close by!

Thank you! I’ll try increasing the humidity
