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 🌿

Thank you for your input! I think too much water really was the problem here. I hope it can recover, because sadly it's a new and pretty small plant, so I can't take cuttings of good leaves :')
