# I'm new to houseplants and I'm really struggling with my swiss cheese…

_Publicado por Sydney el 2025-06-14_

I'm new to houseplants and I'm really struggling with my swiss cheese monstera. I have it under a grow light and I'm very careful about overwatering. Some of the leaves are wilting and browning and I don't know why. Any suggestions?

Always check the roots if you see browning. Looking at your soil, looks too dense. Should be planted in a chunky soil mix and only an inch or 2 bigger than the root ball. Your plant appears to be overwatered
