Bought a Monstera at the store recently and it has all these spots 😣 anyone know what may be causing the leaves to look like this? It was very root bound could that have been the issue? And if so any tips to spring Mr. Sakamoto back to health?

Here’s an article that shows a cold damaged monstera. Looks like what you have going on. https://www.ohiotropics.com/2020/02/28/monstera-problems-questions-answers/

Has it been exposed to the cold? Maybe if it’s next to a cold drafty window

@@sun I’m going to to try to figure this out for you. Let me do some research.

@TwistedThreads · Answer

@sun here is what I have found out so far. Veiny and chlorotic looking leaves are the first and important sign your plant is letting you know that you are not giving it enough air in the soil and/or too much water.

Too me this looks like it got too cold (could have happened in transit to the store you got it at), or could even be some kind of systemic infection (less likely but possible). Did roots/bottom of plant look healthy when you repotted it? What soil did you use in new pot and have you already watered it? Is it near a cold window now?

@RJG do you have any clue what’s up with her Monstera?

@TwistedThreads · Answer

@sun you are very welcome. Happy to help.

Not since you bought it? If it was outside while moving it home that could have done it. Chlorosis usually causes pale, yellow leaves not dark spots.
