I just got this monstera albo today, it’s my first monstera \& it already had crispy edges. This is my first time owning a monstera, any advice on why it may be doing this?

Brown tips usually points to humidity issues. With it being winter that's not surprising. I suggest getting a temp and RH digital meter to see what your indoor humidity is at. Anything under 40% I would run an additional humidifier in the room you have the albo in.

Thanks!! normally I do have a humidifier running in my plant room

I actually turned off my misting reminders on most of my plants because I feel when misting if you don’t dry the tips they tend to turn brown. So frustrating it seems to be working.

I have a humidifier running not particularly close to my plants. So hopefully it’ll help
