Question

Should I trim the “bad” leaves or leave it? 
This is my first monstera and I’ve had her for a week! 🥳 found out it sweats too lol how weird. I also have one yellowing leaf but it was like that when I got it. Advice? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #PlantAddict #MonsteraMonday #PlantShelfie #GregGang #GregFeedback #PLANTMAFIA

Answer

I leave them until they naturally fall off. It doesn't really matter though either way. What ever vibes with your personal aesthetic more!

Answer

@PlantTherapy as long as it has green it can still make food for the plant. That's why I generally leave them on until the bitter end.

Answer

@PlantTherapy the one in the third picture?

Answer

@PlantTherapy it's barely yellowing. Look at this one still on mine

Answer

All to say it has a long way of making food for your monstera to go!

Answer

It looks healthy. That newest leaf in the first picture looks fantastic 🤩

Answer

Even though is has a “bad” leaf, your plant is super pretty. 😍

Answer

I’ve heard cutting off the yellow leaves encourages new growth. That’s what I did with mine and I got 2 new leaves after a few days! Not sure if that’s why it gave new leaves but it was exciting. Congrats on your new plant btw it looks great!!
