Monstera Brown Leaves , What to do now ?

[@darapurdy7647]

I was given a monstera alba that was trying to be propogated in just soil. The leaf is now yellow and brown. What did I do wrong? what can I do to save it?

Hi , For myself l usually propagate Monstera in water or Sphagnum Moss first for the roots to grow a decent size before moving to soil. The first step is to check the roots or stem has not rotten. Leaf could be going brown because the cutting is placing more energy into producing roots then maintaining the leaves. I would transfer to Sphagnum Moss for the plant to grow more roots before going back into soil. Thanks for watching and your question .Happy Monstera Gardening ❤️

My monstera also is all brown all over. I’m so worried that she won’t make it. I bought this cutting about a week ago.

Hi, i have a monstera who is over 40 years old, it has been in the same pot for over 20 years. It is leaning heavily to one side now and i need to try and prop it up, it already has a pole, but thats lop sided too. Should i re-pot it? The pot seems really small for it. If so what is the best way to do this? Also the leaves turn brown at the edges and some of the leaves have not even managed to unfurl. Help please!! Thank you 😊

Hi Gillian, Thanks for asking a question and sharing your Monstera issue. I would definitely think the monstera would need to be repotted if the soil is 20 years old, there wouldn't be any nutrients or much soil left and suspect the roots are circulating in the pot and completely root bound. I suggest you check the state of the roots. The edges are probably going brown as the plant is jot getting enough nutrients or water from being root bound. This video link here will show how to repot and set up your monstera. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWe7eKigjZWid8U Happy Monstera Gardening ❤️

Do you only cut the leaf or the whole stalk

Hi Christina, Great question. It's up to you if you want to cut just 5he brown areas off or the whole leaf and petiole. If the majority of the leaf is brown l tend to cut the whole leaf off. Thanks foe watching and Happy Monstera Gardening ❤️
