Hi all, Please may someone help with my new addition! A little Monstera adansonii variegated I was bought for my birthday. (18th Jan) (I’m still new to being a plant mum and still learning all the time). 🌱 It got delivered by Royal Mail in freezing temps and was left in a box outside for a few hours. Got it inside and it looked so sad and droopy. It’s perked up a bit now but all the leaves are getting brown patches on, including my new shoot! Wondering if the plants just in shock from the frost? I’ve also just purchased a grow light (3 days ago), I have read that the variegated species need more light as the leaves struggle with photosynthesis. I tend to keep this on for about 6-8 hours a day. And water every 8 days. Is there anything else I should be doing or not doing? Should I just see if the plant improves now with the grow light? Thanks 🌱💚

    Don’t strictly follow Planta’s watering schedule. Water when the soil dries out our you can have watering issues. Use the schedule as a reminder to check if the plant needs water.

    I would move it to a smaller pot as well

    Maybe a smaller pot? But I would say use CHUNKY soil, keep the light on for closer to 10-12 hours. And water when the soil is completely dry.

    The cold did make it a little sad, but can recover. Agreed to a smaller pot. I recommend using a tropical soil which also helps with better drainage. Great job on the grow light.
