# I need advice. Does anyone think that I should pull it out and check…

I need advice. Does anyone think that I should pull it out and check for root rot? It was a cutting from my sister-in-law and I don’t wanna lose it. It seems like it’s turned a new leaf, but I don’t know if I should still check the roots.

Can you see the roots in the clear pot?  
Most of it looks really good. I’m wondering if it’s getting burned by the sun. Especially since it’s the white parts that are turning brown.

#### Tabitha respondió el 2026-10-05

I cannot see the roots, and I just recently moved it to the window because I feel like the soil was just not growing out completely

#### Heather O respondió el 2026-10-05

Was it already turning brown before you moved it? Do you see any bugs?

#### Tabitha respondió el 2026-10-05

Gnats

#### Heather O respondió el 2026-10-05

Hmm. If the soil seemed like it wasn’t drying out and you see gnats, then I’d be tempted to change out the soil. And then you can get a good look at the roots too

But she was turning brown before I put her in the window also and in other spots

What kind of water are you using? Maybe need a water conditioner.

### Tabitha comentó el 2026-10-05

Just tap

But mental is double filtered

This may not contribute to this exact issue, but I notice you have the monstera strapped around the petioles. I definitely recommend that you try to find the stem or "back" of your plant and secure it there. When secured on the petioles, they can break
