# Hello all 👋 For those who have had success with monstera adansonii…

_Posted by David on 2025-01-22_

Hello all 👋 For those who have had success with monstera adansonii would you know why I have experienced some almost mottled discoloration and wrinkles on leaves? I suspect it may be moisture related but I also feel like Ive seen a lot of people have success just growing them in house environments. This is one of a few that I started from wet sticks. Any possibility it is just the plant needing to grow and mature?

Was it in a prop box or somewhere with super high humidity? If you’ve moved it to a place with lower humidity it can take a few weeks for them to acclimate. Some of the older leaves may not make it

Thank you! Definitely thinking that’s why it is since i had them in a prop box. Each new leaf has slowly improved.

Some lighter discoloration can be nutrirnt deficiency. These are prone to sport too though. I'd do a light fertilizer and go from there

Thank you! Also interesting, didn’t realize they were known for sporting
