helpp my beloved monstera is not doing good. these black spots originally appeared with tiny white animals. i’m not sure if it’s a pest only issue or also some type of fungal/ root rot? i’ve been using neem oil and some baking soda water for the leaves and there’s no more pests but more leaves have gotten the spots. any other recommendations?? i’ve already lost so many new leaves :((

    Remove the pot to check for rotting roots and swampy smells indicating overwatering conditions. You will need to replace the soil and disinfect roots/tools/pot with hydrogen peroxide. Give it bright indirect sunlight or filtered direct light. They do well with an humidifier too. 🪴🍀
