Hey friends, I am a first time monstera owner and I’ve had this Thai constellation for a little over 2 months now. I noticed that this browning was happening on the white part of the large leaf about two weeks ago. I snipped the little bit and it’s just spread since. I’ve also noticed the browning/yellow spot on the smaller leaf in the back. I repotted this into a smaller pot last weekend and noticed that the roots were overall healthy (a few needed to be trimmed because the pot was too big/held too much water) and it just seems to be getting worse. I plan on changing out the trellis because it’s too heavy for the new pot and securing it better (I know I should not be using zip ties, it was just all I had at the moment) so it stops leaning so much but I don’t know what to do with the affected leaves. Any tips would be appreciated 😫

    How often are you watering? most times if you have brown on the variegated part it will spread across the entire white part and then the white part will fall off naturally

      I honestly am not following a set schedule right now because I check the soil daily with my fingers to see if it feels dry/still wet! However, I was watering about once a week/week and a half depending on how it felt. It’s been a week since I repotted it and I haven’t watered it since then.

      I mean it honestly could be transplant shock, did you mess with the roots a bunch when repotting

      I did have to mess with them to make sure there wasn’t any sign of extreme rot. I only saw a few affected roots and did deal with those. Based on what you said I’ll leave the big leaf alone but I’m still not sure what I should do regarding the smaller leaf with the brown spot :( That showed up about two weeks ago and has gotten larger/more yellow since. Should I just leave it be as well? This was how it looked last weekend compared to my original pic from today

      If it keeps spreading I would cut the leaf so you make sure it doesn’t spread to the others. It kind of looks like leaf spot disease which is very common but it also could be from rot.
