My monsteraās leaves are turning yellow and dying. Does anyone have any tips on how to prevent this? Itās quite cold in NY and thereās not a lot of humidity but I donāt have a humidifier. Iām also having trouble keeping the new leaves alive! Any tips would be appreciated. (I water it when needed and let it drain thoroughly)

Check into getting a small humidifier. I got mine at Samās Club for under $60. Itās about 1.5ā tall and 1ā wide.

I would definitely get it out of the terra cotta pot. Those are better for cacti and plants that like to completely dry out.. plastic pot might be better š I would definitely look into getting an affordable cool mist humidifier ššš» Iād found one of those Crane Adorables humidifiers on eBay for $30, itās an adorable green frog that holds 1 gallon of water. On low/medium the water lasts about 3 days.. my plants seem much happier with it near them. I got it for my pixie Ivy that dries out & tries to unalive itself.. š¤¦š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļøš So when Iād bought my monstera it went right in front of the humidifier! My monstera had a couple crispy leaf edges at the store, but the new leaves donāt! A humidifier definitely helps š
I did have to use one of my plant stands to get it up a bit higher.. so itād reach the plants š Iād used some of that grippy foamy stuff ppl use under their dishes in cupboards, to keep it from sliding off..
Okay thank you so much! I was considering a humidifier for a lot of my plants. This guy also needs a new pot so Iāll look into alternatives.
0 Likes For those saying to take it out of the terra-cotta pot, canāt it just be watered more frequently? I have a lot of plants in terracotta pots. I do notice they dry out fast, but I water them as needed.
