That photo doesn't look like normal nitrogen deficiency to me. I think it may be a potassium or micro-nutrient deficiency. I'm just guessing without knowing more about what they're growing in. The beans sound to me like aphids and spider mites. check the underside of the spotted leaves for small red arachnids. My bitter melons took a long time to do much of anything but the weather warmed up for the past couple of months and I have fruit bursting all over now.

Thank you Dave! I watered it probably 3 times in 4 months. The leaves are kinda waxy so I guess the plant doesn't need a lot of water. I am not sure about the type of soil. The soil is the original soil that came with the plant. We didn't re-pot it. The pot definitely has a drain hole. Every time I watered it, there will be water coming out of the drain hole. I used about one bottle every time (600ml?) The pot is around 10 inches by 10 inches, but the plant is over 5 feet. Should I re-pot the plant to replace the soil?

It's too dry. Notice in the 3rd photo from the top how the new growth is wilted over. No question it's too dry. That new growth needs to be turgid and upright. That's a very big tree to move this late into summer. You are going to need to keep the original rootball wet all summer. I'd expect the rootball needs soaking every day. If your native soil drains well that won't be too wet. Make a berm around the tree extending past the rootball. Use that to soak the area. An occasional soaking out further will help the tree establish a larger root system. It needs roots well into the native soil before the tree will really grow. For good nuts pecans need lots of water all summer long. One third inch per day out past the dripline on a big tree. When it's 100F plus 0.5 inch per day. But that's 5-10 yrs down the road.

Hi everyone. Unfortunately Monstera deliciosa has more culture myths floating around than almost any other plant. The "bright indirect light" myth is the worst. It's everywhere on the internet and it's pure hogwash! :) Most all of the biggest-leaf, massive, mature specimens get from several hours a day full sun up to all-day sun, outdoors. You just really can't give it too much sun if it's grown indoors as a houseplant, unless you switch from low sun too quickly and sunburn it. Next is the "fast draining soil" myth. Many plants love that, and Monstera do great that way, but there must be some houseplants that don't absolutely require it as much as others, right? Monstera deliciosa is that plant. It will grow extremely well in wet mud, in plain clay garden dirt in a pot, and yes also in premium free-draining expensive media too. Another myth are the extreme cautions about being so careful not to overwater it. There is hardly any houseplants that can resist overwatering more. You probably can't overwater it unless your pot has no drainage hole and the soil goes anaerobic. It is still optimal to provide constantly moist-but-not-wet soil, but it's usually UNDER-watering that causes these types of leaf die-off. The last myth is the "increase the humidity" myth. It's great, but just not necessary. They have a tough, thick outer skin and can resist low humidity very well. This one below is grown in a northern heating climate with a central forced-air furnace that really drys the air all winter, often below 20%, yet it doesn't have any brown edges. It gets watered about once every 4 days right now (it needs a bigger pot soon!). It gets lightly fertilized with Foliage Pro at every watering throughout the year. So the plant in the first post needs more sun and more water. Ideally it should be right up in an E, W, or S window (those super-long petioles are etiolating, which is evidence the light is way too low). It needs to have the soil flushed deeply once in awhile, in case that is partially mineral salts fertilizer burn. Also, I would recommend you consider switching to a low-urea liquid fertilizer (like Foliage Pro or similar) more frequently and lightly, as these don't have the strong salt-based ingredients that burn so easily. One concern I had: I do want to know what you mean by "houseplants compost". Thank you. :)
