So I am a bit worried about my Moni. Two of her smaller leaves are turning yellow and while she is unfurling a new leaf it is going quite slow. I was away for a week and a friend of mine who was looking after my plants over watered her. What is it looking like folks?

I think the pot looks a bit large - Monsteras like to be pot bound, since a large pot means the soil will stay wet for too long. I would also use a chunkier soil. I have mine in mostly bark and perlite

And thanks for the notes!

Do you think she is salvageable?

No problem! 😊 and yes absolutely. Monsteras are very tough plants. But they’re somewhat slow growing so it might take a while to see it thriving
