Just got this yesterday and the ends of its leaves are browning and dying. Can anyone tell me what’s going on?
3” pot with drainage
Last watered 5 days ago
Hi Andrea! Monsteras love and thrive in high humidity, my guess is it isn’t getting enough humidity. You could use a mister a mist its leaves, making sure to wipe the leaves of any dust first. You could also use a pebble tray- I put tiny rocks in a plant tray with a little water and put the plant right on the rocks. Mine did the same as yours when I first got it and I figured out it’s too dry inside my home, but this Texas humidity- it LOVES it! So I have mine outside on my east facing patio, where it gets bright light (some morning sun) all day. You could also put a stick of any kind in the pot to help it grow, as these are vining plants. I used a wooden chopstick at first, but it’s grown a lot! I hope this helps!
