šŸšØHELPšŸšØ my beautiful albino Monstera. I got probably three weeks ago has started browning on the white parts and as I have never owned any variegated Monstera, I donā€™t know if this is normal. I went away on a 10 day vacation and came back in. Her soil was still wet, so I ordered soil to change her into chunky soil from her original soil and to let her acclimate, but in the meantime, she has begun to Brown it started off just her leaves turning translucent with a brown tint and now sheā€™s actually browning the other leaf that is partially white is beginning to turn clear on the outer edges and Iā€™m pretty sure thatā€™s normal but I feel like thatā€™s how this other leaf started. she has been consistently getting around eight hours of sunlight maybe 12 I forget what I have the timer set on and was in bright direct light during that time. she does have a new leaflet coming out, so Iā€™m wondering if maybe itā€™s because of that?!? I just donā€™t want this gorgeous leaf to die and I fear that itā€™s too far gone

    Browning could mean a few things, mainly either sunburnt with lighter leaves like these or in your case maybe stress from repotting it! Itā€™ll take some time for her to bounce back, the browning I fear may not stop. So check your distance from the lighting, keep humidity consistent with watering. New leaves wonā€™t show the browning, so just be patient:) donā€™t cut the leaves off unless the majority is dying, itā€™ll still help produce energy for the plant

      I havenā€™t reported her yet, but I watered her before going out of town and her soil is still wet so I think I do need to report her once I get my soil thatā€™s in the mail! Since I have her under a grow light, I was thinking about lowering the intensity of the light and keeping the light on her for less time?

      Yeahhh if the soil is about the same as it was when you left it could be experiencing some root rot :( I have fans blowing to help wick moisture

    I had some browning on my Thai constellation plant, initially ended up being it was too far from any light and the browning stopped

    Whatā€™s your ambient temperature? 10 days and the soil is still wet during summer seems like too much water to me. Albos also need extra light as well. I give mine roughly 15 hours cause the white sections do not photosynthesis. I also add silica to every watering to help it strengthen and maintain that white. It also needs a good amount of humidity.

      Super helpful! My ambient temp is around 74 and I knowšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Iā€™ve had her for about a month and have been gone for a week and a half and came back to the soil wet still and the brown leafšŸ˜¢ I ordered new soil- the nice nice stuff and Iā€™m gonna mix it with orchid mix and Perlite but idk what ratios to do I have to look more into that first. I havenā€™t heard of adding silica before but have recently with people talking about monsteraā€™s! Can you get it in stores? And I have a diffuser next to it, but havenā€™t been using it, which I do need to do

      So do you add it into the water or into the soil? Cause Iā€™ve seen people have the crystals, is that crystals to that you add to the water or is it different?

      This one is a liquid. I add 3ml directly to a gallon of water.
