# Good morning! My monkey mask has been doing very well putting off new…

_Posted by AllieB on 2026-06-23_

Good morning!  
My monkey mask has been doing very well putting off new leaves and trailing beautifully. The last couple months though leaves are yellowing and now new leaves are unfurling with browning spots.  
What’s going on?

Hi! I’ve had this problem before with Monstera Adansonii - What kind of soil do you have it in and how much are you watering it? In my experience they love having a bit of humidity, and some direct sunlight but not too much.

I have it in a south facing window, so not very much direct sunlight but plenty of indirect sunlight and I use the mister but not as often as I should! I also think it has dried out a bit too much a couple of times between waterings, but I didn’t want root rot to sit in. I use Monstera mix or tropical mix miracle grow.

Misting does not retain humidity , humidifiers or domes retain moisture a lot easier. It looks almost overwatered but since you said you let it dry out maybe not. I hope it gets better!
