# So I just separated and repotted my monsteras. They were growing…

_Posted by Samantha Vos on 2026-08-12_

So I just separated and repotted my monsteras. They were growing together in a small pot and the leaves were too clustered, so I separated them. One pulled out without any problem, it looked like it had been propagated because it only had one root and was growing from a larger stem cut at a 45 degree angle. The roots were not entangled, so it was generally a very easy repotting. Now the plant that got moved to the other pot has these gray brown spots on its leaves, and it’s starting to worry me. The original pot is now growing another baby leaf so ik that one’s doing fine. Any tips for my propagated monstera?

It almost looks like a nutrient deficiency but it could also be fungal. I’m not quite sure

Oof ok thank you, the ai doctor on the app said it was just transfer stress but this transfer stress got me stress so I want to know if there is I can do about it😂

I looked at it more and it’s definitely a nutrient deficiency specific to potassium because of the burn like appearance of the leaves. You could try adding potassium sulfate to the soil or maybe just fertilize more frequently and make sure the soil has good heath.
