Why is my Monstera getting brown spots on her leaves? It’s getting worse.

How’s the humidity in your room? And is your water more basic or acidic?

### SisaLis commented on 2025-02-14

I think average humidity in my house might be 40-50%. I’ve been using RO water lately with occasional tap water due to my worry about insufficient minerals in the RO water. We have a water softener due to hard water here.

Could it be root bound? I've never had to worry about giving my monsteras humidity

I repotted it not too long ago. I think I was previously overwatering it. I’m not sure if it’s getting too much in that south east facing window.
