# Can anyone help me find the reason the leaves are yellowing and…

_Posted by Gilly on 2025-08-13_

Can anyone help me find the reason the leaves are yellowing and drooping? She was a gift from a friend and she wasn’t doing too well in the soil so I checked the roots and omg BAD root rot so I thought putting them in water for a couple months might help. But the leaves on this one looks like it’s not doing too good? I’ve fertilized, washed and wiped the leaves. She’s in my bright kitchen which is humid and it seems to be a perfect room for my other monsteras. What else can I do to make her happy? Any help would really be appreciated!

Oh I also had to cut her new leave off because my funny Little Dipper thought it was a snack so hopefully she’ll start healing and rooting..

It sounds to me like you're doing great. Just give it time and keep it away from your cute kitty lol
