Ginny Monsteras leafs turning brown
Hello, I got a Ginny Monstera about 2-3 months ago, and the soil had developed mold. I’ve read these plants need a lot of moisture so I put on my humidifier on once a day for about 2 hrs. After I noticed the mold, I had taken all of the soil out, cleaned up the roots and replaced it with 50% fresh soil and 50% bark in a clean pot with some rooting powder on the bottom of the roots. Now, she isn’t recovering well. Her leaves are turning a yellow to brown. Her stem looks extremely dry, and it hurts my heart seeing her like this #Monstera

Treat the mold with baking soda and water. Spray the plant and make sure you have enough air circulation while it’s drying. This happens when there’s too much moisture in the pot and the plant can’t process it. When you repotted it, did you sanitize the roots with hydrogen peroxide? Did you sanitize the pot as well? Was the soil dry and did you attempt to water it ? Trim off the leaves that are browning and make sure it’s getting the right amount of light. These mini monsteras can be temperamental due to their root size. The more fibrous they are. The more delicate they are and you’ll see some browning. They do well in potting soil with volcanic stone about 1/4 inch in size. The ph may be off on the soil with so much bark. Save what you can and be careful since Winter requirements are different from the rest of the year. Good luck!
