I moved my monstera into a bright location too quickly and I think it got shocked. I’ve had to cut off a number of he lowest leaves which have turned yellow very quickly in the last few weeks. Will it recover?

Mine does this when it gets new growth. I just trim the yellow ones to help it focus on new growth

It’ll bounce back and totally love this corner!
