# what are these spots on my monstera? i just repotted it almost a week…

_Geplaatst door Lily op 2024-07-13_

what are these spots on my monstera? i just repotted it almost a week ago. the roots were dense and circling, so i had to disturb the root system to be able to separate my 3 monsteras and place them in a way where they would be able to utilize the moss pole. it took me about an hour to untangle the roots while submerging them in water. there are no visible pests, and i just fertilized about 2 weeks ago. humidity is at a steady 60-66. i’m certainly not overwatering as i’m letting it dry out a little in between waterings.

Maybe a little bit of shock from the repot and root disturbance?

Is that miracle grow fertilizer? That plus shock could be it. I’ve seen a lot of people with similar issues after using miracle grow fertilizer, try letting it be and switching fertilizers

yes it is! it was my first time using it this recent time, do you have a recommendation?

i’m betting shock from transplant — that’s an old leaf anyway, don’t stress!

#### Lily antwoordde op 2024-07-14

thank you! do i cut it off or will it recover?

#### eatyacarbs antwoordde op 2024-07-14

cut it off — it’s a goner
