Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on with my Monstera? He was thriving for the longest time, but now he’s developing these spots on his leaves and his new shoots are looking unhealthy

Oohhh that looks fungal. How's the watering? Being that bad on new leaves I'd check for root rot.

Yeah I think I’m going to check the roots. I looked at the bottom on the planter and some of his roots are poking out of the drainage holes by like 3 or 4 inches. So I think I’m going to re-pot him too?

Just make sure you remove anything mushy. And id spray it with 1:3 peroxide, if you don't have an Antifungal on hand.

Oh no! 😢

Did you check the bottom of the leaves? Are there bugs? Looks like thrips?
