# hey guys, any idea what these white spots on my monstera are? not…

_Posted by Clea on 2024-08-24_

hey guys, any idea what these white spots on my monstera are? not sure if it’s being caused by pests, though atm that’s my theory. but i have been unable to wipe away any of the white marks i’ve seen on the underside of the leaves. all leaves except the very newest are curling or twisting too. i don’t know what to do!! i’m spraying her down with neem oil a few times a day in case it’s a pest, but if it’s not i have no idea what it could

update: repotted her, had some small roots rotting due to some of the old, not good drainage soil clumped in the root ball. hope that will resolve what seems to be a watering issue with the leaves curling/twisting.
