Monstera woe, part 184...

Thrips damage (over the summer) and maybe root rot? The small, sad leaf just unfurled this past week. The other stem is still ok....should I separate the stems? Just the severe damage stem and hope for the best?

Maybe I am not meant to be a Monstera Mama.

Hi! I wouldn’t separate. I’d cut the damaged stem which will cause new growth to still climb up the moss pole

I don’t have any advice but can totally relate to your post! Some of my plants are so challenging but don’t give up! Good luck!
