I was told I should cut off all my older small non-fenestrated leaves to encourage new big leaf growth. I have a pretty big monstera deliciosa. Does this sound like a good idea?

My siltipecana is yellowing; could this be sun stress? It’s been 4-5 feet from an east-facing window. It is more likely a watering issue?
So it looks like my cheese plant has root rot. I repotted it in a clay pot 2 months ago as it was growing brilliantly and out grew its pot. I potted it with some old compost I had outside “ it it was super boggy” so I assumed that it would dry out indoors. Well 2 months later it had never dried out and stayed wet and just went downhill! so today I baught a new plastic pot, pulled it out and noticed that most of the roots were gone, mushy and horrid. I cut all the bad stuff off and repotted it and used new soil. The spoil is slightly damp from its packet. Don’t think it will grow back? should I not water it for a week?
I don’t know what I did to deserve such good luck, but I found this big guy today for only $75!! I snatched him up SO fast! 😍😍😍
Hello all new to monsteras! I usually propagate all my plants but I fancied a bigger plant in the collection and I’ve always wanted a monstera. Does anyone know if there’s a way to check or guesstimate its age?
Anyone have any ideas as to why my new leaves all grow with the ends of the stems bent DOWN?? The first pics is a really old leaf it had when I got it I think and the other two are the newer leaves. Does this happen to anyone else’s?
Can someone explain to me why my leaves are curling. I’ve tried my best to uncurl them but this is the end result
Okay so I am doing some major rehabilitation on this montstera, but I’m also not a super experienced plant dad. I had some root rot and had to do some major pruning/cutting roots and I want to know best path forward. There’s some rot in the node? of two of them that I am concerned means I should cut below it? Also there’s obviously not enough roots to support he there leaves of that plant so I need to cut and propagate- suggestions for best path with that? I’m also open to cutting along some of the other ones if there are better spots for cutting? To be clear I have four separate plants at this point in time
Does anyone know why the back of my monstera leaves are starting to brown? A few stalks are as well. I think it gets sufficient light.
Hi! This is the Mandalorian. I repotted 5 singular plants together for a bushier look! It’s been a few weeks & two new leaves are growing.
This monstera was gifted to me a few months ago and has been doing pretty well! However, it’s been putting out tons of little leaves and only one or two large leaves. Any ideas on why this may be happening, or anything I can do to help it focus it’s energy on larger growth? Thanks in advance!
Just incase you didn’t know
Rehab advice please! Got this from a friend as needs some TLC and has been overwatered. Would you trim all the brown viney things? Also will be repotted in larger pot. Would you keep the 90 degree bend above the dirt? Separate all the stems? Thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts!!
my boyfriend bought me a new monstera today as my cat ruined mine ☹️ he was looking at the monkey monsteras and saw that one of the stems had been part snapped so he put it in the soil of my plant hoping it’ll root! I think it has a node on it as it’s quite thick then the individual stem with the leaf comes off it, will this eventually root in the soil?
I just picked up this Monstera Lechleriana today. I’ve never had a Monstera and I’m kind of new to plants in general. Any little tips would be greatly appreciated. It seemed very dry so I did water her. Pretty excited about her to be honest.
Found this gem today 😍😍😍
Hello Everyone~I am new to this app and a relatively new Monster owner. I’ve had this plant about 2 years. I’ve learned so much reading past posts! I think it may be time for a repot? Just in the last few weeks I’ve seen these dry patches at the ends of some leaves. I think it’s in potting soil now but understand it should be in a mixture of soil perlite and orchid bark? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated 💜

Just got this albo monstera cutting last week, I’m new to propagating so if anyone has any advice on how to help it grow roots and do well, or how long I can expect it to take I would really appreciate it! It’s currently in moss and perlite.
One of my new leaves is growing in backwards - any clue how to fix this? I tried turning the plant backwards to see if it would follow the sun but she didn’t budge.
