# I saved a Monstera Adansonii from Walmart that was being completed…

_Posted by J\&L🪴Casa on 2024-05-13_

I saved a Monstera Adansonii from Walmart that was being completed neglected. It was three separate cuttings which I repotted into three different pots. I noticed this particularly one was growing a new leaf which got stuck in the petiole it was forming from. After several days of it being in that position I took it out of the petiole and unfurled it and found that half the leaf was completely brown and dried out. After removing it I was left with a big chunk of leaf missing lol.

Does anyone know what could have caused this? Neglect from the store, repotting during growth, getting stuck in the petiole?

Would love to know in case I go through this again in the future

Those stores don’t really take much care to the plants 🥲

Happens sometimes if humidity is especially low. Can’t imagine Walmart has humidifiers running for their plants! 🤣

Could be a couple of things, but most likely missed watering during the leaf’s development.
