maybe not enough light, what type of monstera is this? i think i have the same one!

### kalli commented on 2024-04-03

it may be root rot or over watering, i would check out the roots and repot and spray with a 5-1 mix of water and hydrogen peroxide on the roots and cut the yellow leaf, and the brown ones if you don’t like the look

also a well draining soil mix and pot

I also think this is root rot. If the roots are soft and brown/black and have a foul smell it’s root rot. You’ll need to clean the roots and repot into a very chunky soil mix.

Here’s what my soil mix looks like
