# hi everyone! my monstera has one leaf that always gives me issues…

_Posted by leigha on 2024-10-24_

hi everyone! my monstera has one leaf that always gives me issues every few months. her edges are yellowing but not typical watering issue yellowing. it’s more like a faded yellow instead of a harsh line. i fertilized 2 days ago, she’s been thriving in her window position for 3 months, and her watering schedule is done when needed. any help is appreciated! note: the brown edges are from 6 months ago from the previous owners. they have not gotten bigger since i’ve had her.

Is it one of the older leaves? If so it may just be dying off as the plant’s putting more energy into new leaves, which is totally normal (:
