Two questions for you! If my Monstera has a couple of brown spots do I cut them off? Also if it accidentally ripped is it true you can use medical tape and tape the pieces together and they will mend back together over time? My plant is thriving but I want to really take proper care of it.

I think if the brown spots don’t grow or change it’s up to you. As far as the mending together, I ripped an orchid leaf of mine almost completely and it mended itself! So I’m inclined to say medical tape sounds good!

Awesome! Thank you so much for the help!
