    Looks like 1 of 2 things, the roots are definitely going through it right now but I believe it’s just overwatered OR retaining too much water in the soil… What soil mix did you use when repotting? I find it’s best for a Chunky airy mix so the roots can have moisture but not suffocate

    I used a premium pot mix

    If you can try an Airoid mix or on Amazon I recently swapped to a soil less mix (great for monsteras) called Forbidden Cereal!

    It could still be in some transplant shock and maybe also dealing with some overwatering issues with the way that oldest leaf is yellowing and browning. Premium potting mix is a great start, but unfortunately it is too moisture-retentive on its own for epiphytic aroids like monsteras (unless it was specifically a well draining aroid mix). A good basic formula would be to mix equal parts potting mix, perlite, and orchid bark to create a really well-draining, chunky mix that your monstera will love. I’d probably recommend repotting it again into a well-draining mixture like that. Also not sure what size pot you use, but I always like to mention that it shouldn’t be more than 1-2 inches bigger than the size of the root ball. Otherwise, the soil can stay wet for too long and cause root rot- learned that the hard way myself.

    Thanks. I try that. Yes, pot is still big enough.
