I am so excited. My monstera albo has arrived! I have a node too but it is only stumbling along. I hope this one thrives!!!

I bought this monstera a couple weeks ago. The soil was so compact and hard I repotted it after a week. I had to soak the old soil and roots to loosen it up so I could remove the majority of it. After repotting I noticed a lot of transpiration. I had to wipe it down a couple times a day. Now I’m noticing these dark “wet” looking spots on one of the leaves. The leaf itself is not soft or mushy, just discolored. I haven’t experienced this before. Does the leaf go back to its regular coloring after a while? The new soil is very chunky and airy. I’ve checked to make sure it’s draining properly and the soil is retaining moisture but isn’t soaking

Since noticing more yellow/browning I’ve held back on watering this bad boy. I believe it has been close to 1 month since its last watering. The bamboo skewer finally came out fairly dry as the past few weeks the bottom of the soil was still moist. Will these leaves return in colour or should I trim them off? Bonus: a new leaf came in during the dry out period. Is it normal to not water for that long? I’ve snoozed the last 2 prompt by the app to water it haha.

Wanted to show off my monstera Mike Wazowski. The picture of him when I first got him in the yellow pot. He was kinda in rough shape. The right is him tonight. He’s been thriving like the king he is. 💛

I need help with my monstera, is it too little light? Over watering?

What can I do for my monstera? In the past month I have had 2 leaves become rubbery, weak or “squishier” on stems. Browning on the leaf and doesn’t look well. The rest of the leaves seem fine tho. Any tips? I water when the first 2 inches of soil seems dry, and it gets a good amount of indirect light.

hello! I’ve just purchased a monstera plant today, and upon bringing it home she looks a little worse for wear than when she was on display at Rona’s. It was left in a cold vehicle for maybe half an hour, 45 minutes and the leaves are a lot softer, and some even have brown edges which weren’t there before… I assume it’s cold damage, but i have no idea if that’s correct / how i should go about treating it :( I’ve attached some photos, and for context it was probably -15° celsius outside, it went directly into the cold when i brought it out from the store, and then again from the car into the house. I had a nagging thought in the back of my head that I shouldn’t have left it, assuming it wouldn’t be fine if i was finishing an errand quickly — but i suppose canadian winters are notoriously harsh lol (the leaf i circled is what most of the plant looked like in store, compared to the leaves im holding in the other photos) thanks!

So I just bought this Swiss cheese plant yesterday and need some tips. She’s got some brown spots on leaves and honestly looks cluttered in this pot. Also some brown spots on the stems. I need suggestions and tips for her!! Please and thank you.

HELP My monsters just dropped a couple days ago. I was out of town so I assumed she got a little too thirsty… but I watered her and she hasn’t worked up. Aerial roots are crazy and roots look healthy but probably getting crammed…should I unpot her and disturb everything?

I saw this monstera albo near me for $100, is it worth it? I’m not too familiar on what’s a good price for albo

Not sure if exactly what caused the tear in this leaf but it keeps getting bigger. It was otherwise healthy until the tear, causing it to droop. What’s the best way to handle it without hurting the chances of the other leaves to grow? As always thank you for any advice! 🙏

Hi! I am a new owner of this beautiful monstera! I noticed after repotting him he started to get a few brown and yellow spots on his leaves! Does anyone have any advice on how I can mend them?

My albo experienced some cold damage (100% my fault!) but I’m not sure if I should gently cut around the black area to remove it or just leave it alone. I know the damage is done & it won’t heal. Any advice on where to trim, if I should trim it. Thanks in advance!

I discovered that my plant has this insect hanging out on just one of the leaves. Any ideas in what I should do?

Looking for help with my monstera. New growth is coming out as stems with brown tips and no leaves. This happened in both of my main stems-thought it was just a 1 time thing but now a new stem has popped out of 1 of the bad stems with the same issue. She gets mostly east sun. I water about once a month/only when the soil is dry. Ran into a probablem with thrips a few months ago but sprayed it with neem oil and thought I had gotten rid of them.

Just got my first monstera! It’s a deliciosa ‘Albo-Variegata’.. any tips or advice? I recently moved it closer to the window because I don’t want it getting leggy from lack of light. Its 3pm here and this is the typical light throughout the spring in the afternoon. My room gets more light in the morning but nothing intense..
