So I’ve posted about this before but I can’t find the post or remember the comments🫣 but is this leaf a gonner? There’s an aerial root growing up through the leaf… I’m scared it’s gunna go straight through and break off the leaf😩 what can I do? Is it just inevitable or is there a way to prevent it from going straight through? The leafs already starting to bend downwards because of it…

    to me it looks inevitable ☹️ BUT your monstera looks very happy and the aerial root is a really good sign. If anything i would try to cut the leaf down to the stem and hope it promotes some new growth :) otherwise just let nature do its thing and maybe it’ll fix itself!

      I was thinking of cutting it down but I think I’ll just leave it to see if it will somehow save itself but I doubt it🤣 thank you!

    You could try redirecting the aerial root, they can be quite malleable so if you have it a little push to the side and put some sort of chopstick:stick between them it may find an alternative way to the soil instead
