# My sister gave her as a cutting and she had a tough start. Root rot…

_Posted by Brooklyn on 2024-06-23_

My sister gave her as a cutting and she had a tough start. Root rot was so bad to where I had to cut all the roots off. But now look at her, new leaf!!!!

(There is a bandaid on the new leaf cause I accidentally knocked it over and broke it 😭)

breaking the leaves is so relatable because i swear monsteras are magnets for flying objects because i once broke a leaf because a volleyball i was playing with flew at it from a different room 😭😭
