Help! Monstera leaves turn brown
(feddit.org)
Hello! I hope it's ok to post questions like that here. I have ALWAYS had problems with Monsteras and their leaves browning and dying off. I always thought it might be a too dark or too sunny location. Now I've made some new living room space and I thought maaaybe this spot would be good (bit away from a large window, lots of light but no direct sunlight hits it)
But once again the leaves turn brown, just as they did with the regular Monsteras I had. I tried spraying them with water for humidity, but no help.
So now I wanna ask if anyone has an idea what could cause this? If there might be something I'm obviously doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated <3 🌿
Ohhh ok! Might try that first then! I'm just used to leaves turning yellow, not brown when overwatering
Just kidding, I've been informed by a friend that overwatering can indeed cause the leaves to brown!!
That's a TC right? I've had mine for a little under a year with no brown spots and it sits less than a foot from the window. Fertilized every time I water (liquid drops) and I make sure it dries out completely before rewatering which was about once a week. I repotted it a few months ago so it'll stay moist for 2 weeks now until the roots fill in.
I use a $20 moisture sensor stick thing and test 3/4 the way down the pot
I just repotted it because it's been bothering me (can't do more than kill it right? B') ) and it turned out the roots and soil around them where super moist! I'll definitely pay more attaention to let it dry properly before watering again. Thanks so much for all your input!
It's almost definitely not the problem here, I just wanted to share that info! A lot of people kill plants by overwatering
