Something wrong with my Monstera?
Comments (3)I think it looks okay. Those browned sections on the petiole is just the petiolar sheath, which protects the newly emerging leaves. Once the new leaves have grown out, then they're no longer really needed anymore. As for the roots, monsteras have more than plenty of them. I've just recently repotted mine. Yours would most likely benefit from a larger pot to accommodate its roots as they grow. They don't call these monsters for no reason, haha. :)...See MoreWhat is wrong with my monstera adansonii? (with photos)
Comments (0)My adansonii is actually two seperate vines planted in the same pot. One vine has put out leaves with yellow lines on them (see first pic). I thought this could be mosaic virus, though the veins are still green and the leaves aren't deformed in any way other than the yellow markings. (Also, the shiny spots on the leaf are just due to some neem oil.) New leaves are still coming out, although slowly. The second vine has been fine up until now, and growing quickly (although smaller leaves than the yellowed vine). However, the last few leaves to pop out have now developed these raised yellowish spots, and have brown spots as well (see next two pics). Has the second vine caught mosaic virus from the first vine? Is it pest damage? (I haven't ever seen any pests on it though). I did fertilise 5 or 6 weeks ago, so could it be due to fertiliser burn? The yellow marks in the first pic were already there before I fertilised though, so I doubt this. Any other ideas..? After a tonne of googling I still can't any pictures online that look like the leaf in the first pic....See MoreWhat’s wrong with my Monstera deliciosa? Please help!
Comments (7)I water her once the top two inches of her soil is dry and I keep her in front of an east-facing window. I run the humidifier pretty often as well, keeping the room at a humidity of 60-70%. I also mist throughout the day. She only has one new, healthy growth and the rest are either stunted or growing very slowly and I can’t tell LOL are they not growing because of those dry edges?! :( One of my Calathea’s was just infected with spider mites. I’ve since then isolated her but maybe it wasn’t soon enough, which means... could those issues be from spider mites?! I’ve inspected her soil pretty closely and I’ve only found a few baby gnats (yikes!) which I’ve since then sprayed a bit of neem oil solution on her soil. Haven’t found any sign of webbing either. Please help!! I just want her to get better. Thank you!!...See MoreDoes anyone know what’s wrong with my monstera?
