hey everyone. i recently got a monstera. she was doing great at first but i started getting problems with her not getting any new stems leaves turn brown and crunchy. what can i do? i've taken her to 2 people and they repotted, put new soil, i have been trying distilled water instead of tap. also, i have a few gnats that i have been treating with neem oil, should i try somethin' else?

Where exactly on the leaf is it browning? The ends or the middle?  
Fungus gnats are attracted to those yellow sticky traps. I find they work best if you lay a couple flat on top of the dirt. That’s what I have done. Also your pole should lay against the aerial roots so that they can climb up the pole.. misting your pole also encourages them to attach themselves up on it. Monsteras enjoy seeing the sky. So by a window is best. Hopefully that helps you and your plant baby!!

thank you so much! im not exactly sure what it is called but the new stems and leaves will develop and then they will turn brown. once they are brown and crunchy i will just take it off of the plant

What you have here is called a monstera deliciosa. (Could be) underwatered or overwatered. Or just not seeing the sky enough.. 😊🪴 They really do prefer being by a window. I own 5 of these beauties!! They get massive and at full maturity it might give you some fruit!!
