Monstera is not a particularly demanding flower. Likes shady places and slightly moist soil. The most common problem monstera owners face is yellowing leaves. You must act quickly so that it does not rot. We suggest how to care for a flower so that it repays you with a beautiful appearance.
Why does monstera turn yellow? Check the substrate
The most common mistake in growing monstera is too frequent watering and overwatering. The pot in which you keep the plant should have a light and permeable substrate and drainage holes. The roots cannot stay in the water for too long, because they will quickly start to rot and the leaves will turn yellow. To check if the monstera has too much water, stick your finger deep into the soil in the pot. If the substrate sticks to your finger, it is too wet. Then it is best to repot the plant. After repotting, the flower may be weakened, so it will need a natural conditioner. Pour 2 teaspoons of coffee grounds into a glass and pour water. Then pour the mixture into the pot.
Spots on monstera leaves. How to get rid of them?
Monstera leaves become dry and turn brown because the humidity in the room is too low. When you notice dark spots on the leaves, start spraying the plant with water twice a week, and the flower will quickly regain its former appearance. If it happened that the monstera rotted and its leaves are already completely yellow, all is not lost. In this situation, you can propagate it and grow new flowers. Cut off the top shoots from the monstera and put them in a glass of water. After a few days, they will form roots.
