I just got her last week and she is has a lot of new growth but one has a brown spot idk if I should cut it or leave it be because it’s not slimy smelly or anything, any recommendations would help

Don’t cut the leaf until it’s completely yellow… she is still using the energy from the leaf

A bigger pot would help

If it’s only one brown spot that isn’t spreading then it’s completely normal, don’t cut off leaves until they die off. (For long term) There is about 4 different monsteras in that pot so I would separate them otherwise they will just kill each other off. The pot is a perfectly fine size as monsteras like being in smaller pots.
