_Publié par Estrellita le 2024-01-12_

I just got this mini monstera from Facebook marketplace and she was already yellowing. I have bottom watered and added fertilizer stuff to the water. Every passing day there are new yellowing leaves. Can someone give me some pointers or tips?

I would remove her and check for root rot and any pests in soil or under leaves. She might need a bigger pot if she’s root bound too. Don’t water under she’s dry atleast 1-2 knuckles down.

Agree! Rootbound might be the issue here. Usually plants will drop leaves when they’re root bound and need more space.

Definitely repot with new soil and fertilizer in the soil

Could be that it was overwatered and just needs to dry out a bit, but let’sfindjoy’s suggestion of checking for root rot or pests is great advice. Best wishes 🪴
