# So need help. I think I cant fix what I’ve done. My first Monstera…

So need help. I think I cant fix what I’ve done. My first Monstera and it was doing well. Monstera ended up getting root rot \& yellow leaves because I had the wrong soil. Roots were mushy and parts of the stem. Cut all affected areas off. No roots left🤦🏾‍♀️. Repotted in well draining soil (orchid mix, perlite, indoor soil). Monstera is now under a grow light. Lightly watered the top 3inches with tropical houseplant food. Monstera still turning yellow or remaining leaves.

Try misting it every week to keep the humidity right

Yellow leaves are usually caused by over/under watering. When plants need more humidity the leaves will turn brown and crispy especially on the edges

You said there were no roots left before repotting? If that’s the case then the pot is too big for the plant. It could be turning yellow because there is too much wet soil surrounding the plant. Try repotting in a smaller pot or in water, hope this helps

If she had no roots, you may have to keep her in water for a bit and add some root growing hormone.
