# Help me out here- is this Monstera Peru struggling with sunburn? It…

_Posted by Rachael Hodges on 2024-06-19_

Help me out here- is this Monstera Peru struggling with sunburn? It was outside for a few hours this weekend as I was watering it, and now many of the leaves are somewhat dark brown. No other dark tips or yellowing.

Are they soft or crispy feeling? Looks to me like it’s soft…

Kinda looks soft to me. I think this could be root rot

I checked the roots before watering last week, and they looked good. It also just happened during the last 3 days, not gradual, like root rot might me. The leaves are soft, like normal, not crispy.

What humidity is it at?

Normal indoor humidity
