moved home from uni yesterday and in the chaos of the move my monstera has been damaged, this is either as a result of being stuck in a hot boot for a little while or i’m thinking this specific leaf has been trapped in the boot door as it’s the only one with a black spot, what do i do with it? i’ve been told i need to cut the whole leaf off, if so then where on the stem do i cut?  
any advice will be much appreciated :)  
lots of love, leah❤️

You need to cut the leaf off.

You could just slice 1/2 the leaf off, on the left side of center vein. That way it still has 1/2 a leaf to photosynthesize with.

yeah this is what i was thinking and then just keep a close eye on it over the next week or so, just to see how it does and then chop the leaf off later if i need to, i repotted it today and everything looks fine root-wise, all healthy aside from the one scorched leaf :(

I will cut the whole thing at the base of the stem.
