My thai monstera has one leaf with a brown spot. It’s under a grow light and not overwatered. Do I just leave the brown spot or do I trim it off?

looks like your humidity is wayyyy too low. i’d leave the leaf. it’s not pretty, but making a cut can introduce bacteria. underwatering can also cause the browning.

It’s pretty normal for the variegated areas to turn brown over time, just make sure it’s getting good lighting and feed 🫶
