🚨URGENT HELP NEEDED🚨 My monstera adansonii albo is showing browning at the edges of the leaf, particularly in the variegated parts. Last night it was concerning, now it’s starting to become disconcerting. It’s happening super fast! The browning is surrounded by somewhat transparent outline, with the dried up parts further in the affected areas. Out of the 8 leaves, only 2 are unaffected, and the two sprouting leaves seem to be fine (hopefully). This plant is 3ft from a grow light. I also recently used sphagnum moss on the top layer, which promptly grew molds, so i removed them, and replaced with perlite/activated charcoal/aqua soil mixture. The soil i’m using is a succulent substrate in which the plant was happy in until it moved to my place. I also repotted it in a self-watering pot, similar to where it was first planted, but prettier. At the moment my house is at 70% humidity, and I haven’t even done anything to get there. It’s just what god intended for Dubai. Although the humidifiers are on the way to lessen the fluctuations as I am finicky when it comes to my AC. Could it be the common molds affecting the variegation? Could it be water imbalance? Maybe the grow light bouncing off the wall and compounding the heat output? Is it stress of moving houses? Thanks in advance for your help! Happy to share more details that i may have missed.

    From what I’ve heard it’s a common thing with this plant. White variegation isn’t very easy to keep nice and browns easy. I would try adding silica into your fertilising routine to see if that helps cos I’ve heard that can help strengthen white variegation. I say “I’ve heard” because I don’t have this plant or any that does this so I don’t have personal experience with it
