# So about a year ago my poor monstera got sunburned and I potted it…

_Posted by 盛开 on 2025-04-04_

So about a year ago my poor monstera got sunburned and I potted it and it stayed the same for a while but then it grew a new leaf. Should I cut off the burned leaf now or wait till the new leaf is a little bit older and more stable. I would love the help thank you. :)

I would go ahead and cut it off so the new leaf can thrive.
