Hi Angela! Those spots on your Monstera could be a few things:
1. Sunburn: While Monsteras love light, too much direct sun can cause those spots. Try moving it a bit further from the window or using a sheer curtain to filter the light.
2. Pest Infestation: Check for tiny insects like mealybugs or spider mites. If you find any, isolate the plant and treat it with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
3. Fungal or Bacterial Infection: In rare cases, these spots could be a sign of a fungal or bacterial infection. If the spots are spreading or the leaves are turning yellow or brown, it might be best to consult a local plant expert.
Keep an eye on the plant and if the spots worsen, consider taking a clear photo and sharing it with a plant community or a local nursery for more specific advice.
