# Heyy so this is my monstera Thai.. she was never in good shape since…

_Geplaatst door Camelia op 2025-04-24_

Heyy so this is my monstera Thai.. she was never in good shape since I got her. I got 2 at the same time and the other one is doing absolutely great so I’m not sure what the problem is. One of her leafs are turning yellow. And I’m pretty sure those are bugs under the leaf but I’m really not sure. Could it be dirt maybe? I’m really hoping it’s not bugs but I may be in denial. If you could help me identify the problem here as well as a way to treat it I would be EXTREMELY grateful. She was supposed to be a gift but at this point I may as well gift the other one (originally supposed to be matching plants with my best friend). If I could save her I would really love to. Thank you!!

How much have you been fertilizing? How much have you been watering?

#### Camelia antwoordde op 2025-04-24

I fertilize according to to the schedule and I only water when the dirt is dry

#### Seth U antwoordde op 2025-04-24

Gotcha. Well do you have neem oil on hand?

#### Seth U antwoordde op 2025-04-24

Neem oil helps with all kinds of stuff. It is organic and will help get rid of all kinds of pests, fungal diseases, etc.

#### Camelia antwoordde op 2025-04-24

I unfortunately do not have any neem oil… but I will get some because clearly it’s useful 😂

#### Seth U antwoordde op 2025-04-24

I’d get the concentrate so you can make your own and it’ll last MUCH longer than the ready made stuff. I’ve done both.
