# I bought this monstera and I didn’t realize til I got it home it has…

_Posted by Sundae on 2024-02-27_

I bought this monstera and I didn’t realize til I got it home it has the little black dot  
Pattern on some of the smaller leaves, what is this, is it harmful? Do I need to get rid of the leaves with it ? Thanks!

Is it cold where you live? Or looks like frost bite damage to me over a pest issue. If those leaves got cold for even a few mins it will make the leaves black.
