So I got this monstera Thai conn at Walmart for a deal. It had some pretty obvious signs of distress and the leaves were very brown so I cut the damaged leaves off to hopefully give it a chance to grow new/undamaged leaves. I realize now I probably should have just trimmed the damaged parts of the leaves themselves, oops. It seems to have a sort of stem rot really close to the base, and I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do about that? I’m starting to wonder if the plant is even savable. It also had gnats that I’ve been treating and I’m fairly certain those are gone now. It’s also in the Costa Farms self-watering pot but I’ve been on the fence about repotting it. Any thoughts on what else I can do to help this poor plant?
