This is from my monstera. I popped the leaf off to destroy but I have the same spots on my bigger leafs. They starts on the bottom of the leafs first and now making it through. I thought it looked odd when you look close at it and I didn’t add or do anything to the spots. But is it a fungus problem that I have? Does anyone else have any insight to confirm or deny the diagnosis?  
Thank you 🙏 😊

this is rust, a highly contagious fungal infection. it's caused by high humidity with little to no wind, making leaves constantly wet. this can also be caused by misting too frequently. remove all affected leaves and wipe down remaining leaves with neem oil. isolate from other plants.

If you happen to not get around to the Marble Queen Aurem Pothos on your wishlist, I have been propagating a few cuttings. I think it’s very possible I can get you a small starter plant or send some cuttings your way!!! They seem to be very resilient. Mine had a blast off after I potted the cuttings!!! Right after potting, and now currently. Very quick grower!
