My plant is getting yellow and leaves are drying looking ...

#Monstera
If you could link the plant in the post it would help to see what conditions you have it in!
Sorry about that , thanks for asking
Try feeding it
Thanks,I do fertilizer once a month , need anything else
Does this pot have drainage holes? I find monstera do best with a few things: lots of light, a very well draining potting soil mix like aroid mix, and watering when they’re nearly completely dry. I water thoroughly- soaking it through until the water is running through the drainage holes, then don’t water again until nearly dry. They can get root rot otherwise. Fertilizer is never a bad idea, but your plants primary food and nutrient source is the sun! Make sure and @Mamalinne in the answer or I won’t see your reply.
@TemperatePersia the soil mix looks a bit too dense for a monstera! It could be unhappy about that :/ I suggest buying a specialized monstera soil mix which can cost a lot, or you can make your own with regular potting soil, coco chips, sand, orchid bark, sphagnum moss, peat moss, etc. it’s all about preferences ingredient-wise, but the soil should be chunky! If you buy the ingredients separately cou can build your own for whatever the plant you’re currently potting needs!
@TemperatePersia on another note, it almost looks like sunburn, how much direct sun is it getting per day?
It has drainage, and I follow the app water reminder , also it gets 3-4 hours sun in my kitchen also I use miracle grow indoors plants food , I will follow both of your advice, thank you so much for the replies.
