Hello, I have a problem, I just got a monstera (couple of weeks ago), and it has started going lower and lower. Some of the edges of the leaves are getting brown. I understand it can be due to stress to a new place, but I want to make sure, it’s not a position issue. It’s 1m away from a big window, it’s facing north and I am misting every 3 days..

    How dry is the soil? It may need to be watered. Also if you’re in the northern hemisphere, a north facing window may not be giving it enough light.

      Soil is being kept moist at all times. I am in Central Europe so light should be ok? Most of the plants are doing good..

      Monsteras tend to like to dry out a little between waterings so keeping it consistently moist might be causing some root rot. I let mine dry out 50-75% and then give them a deep soak. They also love a lot of light, so I’d move it closer to the window and potentially add a grow light to supplement a little.
