Hiii, I bought a Monstera Thai Constellation from GrowTropicals and every leaf had some spots like this - I repotted it, is there anything else I can do to increase its chance of survival?

Baby it since it you just transplanted it. Were the spots there before you bought it?
0 LikesYeah when it arrived it already had the spots, there was also another leaf that was quite wilted like it was overwatered
1 LikeOh man! That’s tough. Overwatering usually means you need more sun to evaporate it, but more sun might overwhelm it after the transplant. I’d just make sure there is a fan going and you don’t have hard water.
0 LikesThank you - I moved it to a brighter spot but not direct sunlight (not that we get much here this time of the year anyway lol), we have water softeners installed so that should be ok
1 LikeIt could be shipping stress or it got too much water before being shipped that couldn’t dry out fast enough in transport. I would check the roots for signs of rot. Remove the rot, disinfect with peroxide, and replace the soil if rot is found.🪴🍀
0 LikesThat's fusarium fungus. Treat with a fungicide (hydrogen peroxide is a gentle one. Neem oil is more hardcore but can make the plant vulnerable to sunburns)
0 LikesUpdate: I removed the affected leaves and it bounced back very quickly with no further issues 💪🏻
