I have this issue with monstera leaves browning at the edges with a yellow boarder and don’t know how to fix it. If anyone has dealt with this any advice would be greatly appreciated

Maybe more humidity and more watering

Thank you, considering a humidifier but don’t know if I want to go that far yet

#### Susan replied on 2024-07-01

I would totally recommend a humidifier, it is a game changer!

You can also trim the browning off later

#### Don Macintyre replied on 2024-06-27

So I’ve been trimming the brown bits off but was wondering if it’s better to just cut the whole leaf off instead

Be sure to use distilled water, since they are so sensitive to lime.
