Help me save my thai con monstera ☹️ these black spots and the brown thin spot showed up a few days ago, while this plant was previously doing great. Soil isn’t wet as she’s actually due for watering today. Has a good source of bright indirect light and nothing has changed recently.

my best guess is sunburn, as the damage is only on variegated spots of the leaf. she might be too close to the window

Thank you, I’ll try moving and see what that does. Question I was thinking about getting a grow light would that not be a good idea now?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-05-17

you can still get it for other plants 🤷‍♂️ but because she looks to be burning i wouldn't put her near it

Some plants need to be moved this time of year when the sun gets more intense, so that’s a great suggestion!
