# Why is my Monstera's little leaves turning yellow? I rescued this…

_Posted by Lin on 2025-10-18_

Why is my Monstera's little leaves turning yellow? I rescued this plant from a big box store 2 weeks ago. I changed the soil and sprayed it for bugs. This is not where I originally keep her. Any ideas?
