Not overwatered maybe pest or sunburn i don't know

### Plant Lives Matter commented on 2025-06-24

Could be a humidity issue. Monstera adansonii typically want more humidity than M. deliciosa, so if you don’t have a humidifier or keep it in a sunny bathroom, it may continue to struggle. One other option is converting it to semi-hydro which I found does the trick.

Semi hydro what's that

### Iplantevenrightnow🪴 commented on 2025-06-24

Semi hydro refers to keeping plants in a different type of medium that isn’t soil, but also isn’t water only; think LECA or pon, thinks like that.
