Hi do I save her? I got her for $10 in the clearance section at Lowe’s. She’s not doing to hot.

    This one looks ok to me too! the trick with these is two fold; they are very sensitive to temperature/light changes. near an east or west light source is best. they also need SO MUCH humidity to stay green and happy. not misting, you open yourself up to a lot of risk there — i hit mine with a little handheld steamer about once a week (except this week as it’s hot as hell and humid enough lol) but like your syngonium, i’m not seeing anything worrisome from this photo!

      that’ll be the humidity. its rare that i’ve seen one without any browning — they’re just finicky

      Also why no misting? I have def been doing that to my monsters until I get my humidifier 😭

      misting can lead to rot and fungal/bacterial infections. if the temp isn’t warm enough to evaporate the mist it can sit and cause problems. humidifiers are a better, safer option (and personally i think the steamer is fun!)

    skip the misting until you get that humidifier— your monstera will be fine without it 😊
