So I have this rescue monstera I have been trying to nurse back to life and after giving it a good mist I noticed that there were these odd spots on the underside of its leaves The odd part is it’s only on some of the leaves and others look completely fine I swear if this is some kind of bug I’m gonna burn this whole house down

Hello! Long time plant owner, first time monstera owner. I've had the plant for ~ 2 weeks and have not reported yet. I had a leaf go yellow on me - it looks like it rotted! I was able to take out the offending stem easily. The plant has plenty of drainage and soil is dry between baths. Everything else seems to be doing well - we even have a new leaf! Any tips? Should I be worried about this spreading to other, healthy stems? Thank you for any help! 💚

Hi there! My monstera has been having a tough time since winter and looking for any advice!! I bought her in the summer and since the winter with not as much light coming into my apartment she’s been drooping with an occasional yellowing leaf. Now, the original pot was a self watering pot, but it was too small so I repotted it into a larger pot that isn’t self watering so perhaps it’s still adjusting to some shock. I also just purchased a grow light to help! First image is the original pot I planted it in during summer and the other is the new pot that was repotted in late September (also just misted the plant right before taking image) Any help for this plant newbie is appreciated!!

Hi everyone! Happy Holidays! I’m new to Monsteras and just got one for Christmas can anyone tell me some tips for repotting, watering, and basic care?

I know new leaves are supposed to be lighter until they darken but the stem to the leaf is lighter than it was yesterday is that normal?

I recently moved my monstera to a new location, and for the first time a leaf is dying! (1st pic) It was the leaf closest to the wall, but does anyone know if there’s a reason for this? The second photo shows there’s still new growth and it’s doing well, I don’t know why it’s just that one leaf…

Please help! I noticed discoloration on almost every leaf of my Adansonii Albo. I keep this plant in a 3-4 inch pot with a chunky soil mix under a grow light for 12 hrs/day. I water when the soil is mostly dry so roughly a week and a half. There’s nothing noticeably wrong with the roots and the underside of the leaves. I gave the plant a shower just in case. What else would y’all recommend?

This isn’t a sign of scale, right? A bit unsure of what the browning on roots/spots on leafs are. Any pointers will help!!!

I need some advice! This is my first Monstera I got her in January as a 4 leaf plant. I did repot her in the summer and put her on a mosspole. Today I had to move her to a different spot because she got to big and as I was taking her out of the cache pot I saw a huge bundle of roots. My question is should I repot her now or wait until spring? The mosspole is full of roots, and I'm not sure what to do at this point. 🤔 Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I wanted another trailing plant so bad! My boyfriend and I saw a monkey mask at a local plant store and I fell in love! I would say I am comfortably at an intermediate plant parent level. Please help me not kill it! Any advice? She’s a beaut. 😍

Ahhhh guys both my monsteras have new growth !! I didn’t think they’d be pushing out leaves in December but I’m hoping that means they’re happy and thriving?! Anyway they’re so cute💕

Hi! I have a Monstera Albo. I think the pot is getting small and will need to repot soon but I have a question. I'm not sure what to do about the white leaf areas that are browning? Can I cut the leaf or just leave it alone? I also have a new leaf that is not yet unfurled but is turning brown. What can I do so this doesn't keep happening?

I need some advice… Should I repot this teenie-bopper? I say teenie-bopper because I have a mama one and a baby one. Anyway… He is coming out the bottom of his pot but he seems so happy. He just gave me 2 new leaves and a baby on the bottom. I’m just afraid he may give me attitude (like any teen) if I repot him lol. I need advice. Thank you 😊

I’m wondering if i should chop and prop my albo. She’s doing well but starting to lean. I probably could cut it into 3 plants. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know what could cause brown tips??! It’s not just my monstera, it’s a few different plants… all plants have a grow light, humidifier on 24:7, and get fertilizer and water when Planta tells me to…. Not sure what could be the cause if it’s MULTIPLE different plants (but not all?) I’m stressing and don’t wanna lose anyone! ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

While repotting my new monster Deliciosa, I found these little guys!! I’m fairly new to plant parenthood, these are seeds right?? How should I take care of these?? The third pic one of the little seedlings connected to a decently grown piece, but one of th leaves is yellow/black, thoughts on this one?? Cut off the seed? Leave the seed? Thank you!!
