# Hi all! I just picked up a Monstera deliciosa and one of the leaves…

_Posted by Brooke on 2024-02-12_

Hi all! I just picked up a Monstera deliciosa and one of the leaves looks a bit different than the others. It’s lighter green and not as sturdy as the others - should it be removed or is it still growing? I’ve had this plant for a few weeks and nothing has really changed.

It looks like it’s shiny which I would assume means that leaf recently unfurled! Nothing to worry about if that’s the case, it’ll look like the rest soon. :-)
