# I recently moved my monstera to a new location, and for the first…

_Posted by KT :) on 2024-12-24_

I recently moved my monstera to a new location, and for the first time a leaf is dying! (1st pic) It was the leaf closest to the wall, but does anyone know if there’s a reason for this? The second photo shows there’s still new growth and it’s doing well, I don’t know why it’s just that one leaf…

I would remove that dying leaf. It won’t come back and the plant is giving it nutrients that it could be giving to new healthy leaves :)

Is there a vent near that leaf? Or is there a draft? These are my thoughts since the rest of the plant looks great

agreed, looks like it was in the path of a heater.

I’m babysitting a monstera that lost 2 leaves after I moved it outside for the summer. I’m thinking it was a stress response. It has 3 new leaves now \& looks great and didn’t have a hissy fit when it came back inside for the winter.
