# Can anyone tell my why this one leaf has this ?? There’s no bug at…

_Posted by Manda on 2025-04-30_

Can anyone tell my why this one leaf has this ?? There’s no bug at all on my plant .. I don’t over water it .. I don’t place it in direct sunlight .. some sun but only for a certain time. I just got my moss poles in just waiting for the too roots to finish popping out then ima hook it up to the pole

Girl I am lost to why mines has it .. I don’t have pest .. I don’t over water it (cause I learnt at the beginning of my green thumb journey not too the hard way) .. I know not to have to much direct sunlight etc n still I Dnt get it

### Hilsie commented on 2025-05-01

It almost looks like a liquid was dropped on to the leaf... I would say it's some kind of pest as that's the more logical explanation but if it's definitely not, could something have gotten on it?

### Manda commented on 2025-05-01

No nothing has gotten on it. I don’t even use sink water to water my plants anymore. I whip them weekly to be free of any dust etc I check for pest and there fine

### Letsbcarey commented on 2025-05-01

Perhaps a fungal infection.

### Keesh T commented on 2025-05-02

Just dealt with this. It’s a fungal infection and will continue to develop. If your leaf is damaged extensively like mine, I cut it off at the base to prevent it from spreading. Mine started like yours then progressed to the photo attached. I had it near a humidifier which seemed to speed up the damage caused significantly. I had another leaf that started to develop the infection but I simply cut away that section on the leaf instead of the entire leaf and stem. Afterwards, I wiped down all of the leaves with neem oil and water mix. It’s been a week and my monstera is doing just fine.

So I should cut that whole leaf off? Or the whole stem along with the leaf?

#### Keesh T replied on 2025-05-02

The damage looks small enough to just cut off the areas impacted on the leaf. I’d try to cut it in a way that keeps the natural shape of the leaf as much as possible
