Has he ever had a repot? #### Jc\_plants replied on 2025-08-21 Yes i repotted this year he’s been fine since this summer his smaller siblings which i separated from they died off and it started like this so im not sure i used fertilizer no water a lot of light no light everything. I just ordered some monstera silica but i not sure what I am doing 😓😥 #### prayformyplants replied on 2025-08-21 So maybe check for pests and if it seems clear look at the root system. It could be a lot of things if there are signs of root rot chop ANYTHING that is rotted and spray with a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water to disinfect. If root rot is involved you will need to downsize the pot he’s in. ### Nunyabzwx commented on 2025-08-21 Oh noooo!!! Have you gotten out your magnifying glass to see if there's any kind of pest? Thats the 1st thing i would do. It could be wayyy to much watering or not enough or inconsistent watering. It could also be not enough light or to much light. Have you looked at the roots? Thats the 2nd thing i would do. Have you fertilized it recently? Sorry about all the questions, you don't need to answer them but you could think about them to try to find the cause. Good luck. I hate when that happens. Everything is fine one day but the next day its gone bad. ### Sunny commented on 2025-08-21 Check the roots. It could need repotting as suggested. Inconsistent watering, low light, over fertilizing and hard water can give similar results. 🪴🍀 ### Roxy Detroit commented on 2025-08-22 I’m not an expert, but it looks like sunburn to me ### Jc\_plants commented on 2025-08-23 Thank you all for the help I am taking the advice I am moving him to a smaller pot here’s how the roots look ### Jc\_plants commented on 2025-08-23 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nxAFV-XrV41nQnF3Ey_p4clWgUXjrPRkllNaNyn3ZOY/RnzY-lg5TmmTIry_M42MuA.webp?size=large) ### Jc\_plants commented on 2025-09-01 I come back a week later the dying leaves are still dying :( but i separated the healthy parts and those are fine ### Jc\_plants commented on 2025-09-01 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nxAFV-XrV41nQnF3Ey_p4clWgUXjrPRkllNaNyn3ZOY/l5OUEM59TSmFQjckutHduA.webp?size=large) ### Jc\_plants commented on 2025-09-01 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nxAFV-XrV41nQnF3Ey_p4clWgUXjrPRkllNaNyn3ZOY/XibXtZoZSZeJoY2oMyfjTQ.webp?size=large) ### Jc\_plants commented on 2025-09-01 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nxAFV-XrV41nQnF3Ey_p4clWgUXjrPRkllNaNyn3ZOY/vOEUmlpoRASn4S8pstyhFQ.webp?size=large) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
