Would love some help 💖 Could someone tell me if, overall, my monstera is doing ok? I received this water propagated cutting last September and since then, I’ve only had two new leaves (one was this month). They never developed fenestration and it was growing so slowly. After a while I began watering it every 5 days and it started seeming happier (and grew those leaves). On the other hand, a few of the leaves have always looked “wobbly” and sunburnt, but now one of them is fully yellow as of this week. Should I cut it off? Should I water less? Thank you 💖💖

    How often are you watering it? I would cut off the leaf that is fully yellow

      I am now watering every 5 days, for about 10 min in the shower. I used to water less and after I started watering more, I felt the leaves perked up and showed more signs of growth. But if one leaf is yellow, it makes me wonder if I should cut back again.

      I would water it less keep the time of the watering the same but I would try watering it every 7 days and see if it does better

      Thank you! So same amount of watering time (10 min in shower) but slightly less frequent. For trimming the yellow leaf, should I cut it at the base or do you have advice on where to make the cut?

      You’re welcome! I trim mine at the base and that’s been working well for me so far

      Following up, I read to cut the stalk down to just above where there could be growth so I did that and the whole stalk turned yellow! Think that’s ok? I will say a big aerial root started forming after I snipped the leaf.

    Does it get direct or indirect sun?
