I was checking on my monstera and found this. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I’ve found things like that on my monstera, I would either remove the new leaf sprout, also because it’s yellow anyways. And then just see how the plant reacts when other leads sprout. But ultimately it’s your decision to take off that leaf

Thank you so much! 🫶🏽

No problem!!

have you been fertilizing? this leaf looks very pale and small which is an indicator for underfertilizing

#### Estrellita replied on 2023-09-07

Yes! I add miracle grow liquid fertilizer to the water, and I even use my aquatic turtles poop water 😂  
Do you have any other fertilizing recommendations that could help?
