# Hi!! A novice plant mama here. Just bought / repotted this monstera…

_Gepostet von Ayhud am 2025-07-31_

Hi!! A novice plant mama here. Just bought / repotted this monstera about 4 days ago. The woman at the garden center said it was only on the clearance rack bv I needed to be repotted and was otherwise healthy (score!)

It came with this patch on one leaf - hasn’t grown or transferred to any other leaves since I got it. Ive had it in the shade since but transferred it to a west facing window today to get a bit of sun today.

My instinct was to prune it off but wanted to check to make sure it isn’t sun damage or a humidity issue. TIA!

It honestly also looks like thrips damage too so beware. But it’s possible it could be something else too

Thank you! I’ll spray some neem oil to see if that works, but am always open to suggestions as well 🥰

I mean if it’s on only one leaf it could be just damage
