So my monstera albo borsigiana has one been doing great for… _Lacee님이 2024-07-02에 게시함_ Hello! So my monstera albo borsigiana has one been doing great for the last month but now I see this!! (See pic below) I have researched and read that it could be humidity, I have a humidifier and have keep it above 58! I have grow lights on her and It’s currently summer here in WA state so it’s not cold. Not next to any heaters or AC, under grow lights. It’s planted in coco chips because it was angry for awhile and as soon as I put her in straight coco chips she did way better! Roots have grown a ton, I just checked them and no root rot or anything out of the ordinary and I can see her roots through the cup and they all look great! My other girl (monstera albo borsigiana) is doing the same thing but also has some light brown around it! The second is under the exact same conditions as the first! Also checked her roots (bottom pics) and they look great too! Can somebody please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Also this has taken a lot of time (at least a month) to get to this point. It was not fast. Any advice would be so helpful! Lots more roots than seen in the photos fyi. ![14개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/-GvJFc0cTsm25AXZdrH84w.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/CwA07X_GSm2LmmmNtrlRYQ.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/Cx5_WHYDSTe3KIBs5P3j0A.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/EZgiYGLESiCRiHDLHPXu2w.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 5번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/KYuz7bNQS7W3Dvn9QVrVjQ.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 6번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/WAZHl64vR0WlaCtJchF61Q.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 7번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/XrQWrISyTlWdznlJk2f8-A.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 8번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/Y9aZBDlRS_OwJTOeC7ihnA.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 9번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/_RaqONk0R0SPEcMb1Nf2mw.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 10번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/bZbFSWWtRQe1LD5Kw6MqxQ.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 11번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/m6KcQ-SeQLe9lRcQxTUDww.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 12번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/sIFEk7swQAm3NXqk720i0w.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 13번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/vCwhvG1eSTC6yIOw_3pqUQ.webp?size=large) ![14개 중 14번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iCVQHEjFirQD64BCMsQ0-Ik9EXs7RE3C8BwYFaxfY8Y/zn6BrjuTQzy0sxsfD_NQpw.webp?size=large) ## 6개의 댓글 ### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. hmmm maybe add more drainage/airflow — more holes up the sides of the pot? this looks a liiiitle too wet — the roots at the bottom might be sitting in water #### Lacee님이 2024-07-03에 답변했습니다. I can definitely do that. I have some clear pots with more drainage that I can definitely change to! ### S.R님이 2024-07-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. How often are you watering? And are you allowing the medium to dry completely before watering again? #### Lacee님이 2024-07-03에 답변했습니다. I was instructed by some friends to make sure to water often because the cocoa chips get dry and the roots might unintentionally dry out too much. However, I can definitely cut back on the watering to see if that helps. #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-03에 답변했습니다. It’s true this chunky stuff needs more frequent watering than soil because it doesn’t hang onto water the same way, but I do think these roots are sitting in water — adding more vents should help it dry out. you can pull it out to make sure the roots aren’t mushy anywhere, remove them if they are, and add more holes before repotting #### Lacee님이 2024-07-03에 답변했습니다. I pulled it out to look at the roots and they looked good but I will def repot into something with more air and not water so often. I really appreciate you guys helping me out! 🙏🙏🙏 any other tips are welcome !!! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
