My monstera got this😖 I usually have it in the same spot in the house without harsh direct sunlight. I don’t remember seeing this the other day, but when checking on it today (since I have a new leaf coming out) I saw this☹️ What can I do?

unfortunately sun burns on the leaves are irreversible. you can only prevent it from happening again.

Yep. Mine got sunburn on one leaf. I was upset but now I think it adds character. So my D’Artagnan has a battle scar. I had accidentally turned on the grow light before moving it away.
