Help! My monstera is yellowing so rapidly! Everything was going so great! Two weeks ago, however I re-potted the plant an swapped to using a real spaghnum moss pole. I live in Massachusetts, so currently amidwinter. I repotted it with a good mixture of orchid bark, cocoa coir, perlite, and monstera soil. Leading into this repotting, I was already scheduled to fertilize the plant, so I did that, an came back in town one week later and this is what it looks like. What is my best bet now? There’s drainage & the soil is slightly damp but I wouldn’t say I flooded it with too much water. What’s my best chance of survival now? Cutting these yellowing leaves off so it doesn’t spread to the entire plant? Someone please help!

Why is my Monstera getting brown spots on her leaves? It’s getting worse.

This poor fellow needs a pot upgrade come spring and a much larger moss pole! Should the moss pole be on the opposite side? Also on a side note: aerial roots are so neat!! Thanks

Just got this Thai con from walmart. Was in what looked like some kind of sphagnum moss and I added a bonsai soil mix to help it. Upsized the pot about 1.5 in into terracotta, then watered. Is the soil gonna be too dense? It’s under a grow light, 1 East and 2 North facing windows. Please let me know if I made any mistakes and how I could fix them!

Was trimming the plants at work and tried to take enough off with this leaf to hopefully propagate it (in case the mother plant dies). Couldn’t find a clear node. Do I have any hope?

This plant was given to me and was very tall a sparse leaves, I think it grew this way because didn’t get enough light? Also not sure why lower leaves are wilted?

Hi guys, I am in desperate need of some help. This lil one has been through a journey. I repotted her about a month ago into a larger pot, then moved her back because she didn’t seem to be doing well. But now, one leaf gave out on me, and the one on the back is doing the same. I don’t know what to do with Ms. Girl here. 🥲she’s lookin sad

Should I cut and prop one of these? They look like two separate plants to me.

I have a monstera that wasn't doing so well for awhile, but I've been able to bring some life back to it with a new leaf having sprouted recently. There are two pretty brown leaves that I'm debating on cutting off so it can devote more energy to the new leaf & growth overall. What do you think I should do?

Hey all! I’ve just got this huge monstera for free. She’s was going to be thrown out. She wasn’t taken care of very well. She’s droopy and her leaves are yellowing. She’s got these aerial roots that and sticking out everywhere. I’ve already looked at her leaves and I cannot see any bugs. My next step would be to look at her roots?? I have no idea what to do to make this big girl happy again. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, new to this app and looking for some advice regarding Monstera’s. I have a baby monstera deliciosa in the bathroom which appears to be doing well- new leaves unfurling and good growth. Recently got the Albo variegated too. As this one is located in my hallway with only 2 panels of vertical glass on my front door (west facing) for light, I added a grow light today as the plant is around 6ft from the door windows. Will this help get the light it needs better? For both plants, is following the default care instructions from Planta a good idea, or should I create a custom one (for just the Alba or both?) I’m new to these types of plants, so any tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
