This is cold weather here on east coast, but my monstera is growing new foliage however the new leaves are pale and browning at the tips. This is happening to a couple of leaves. During the colder months I have been watering less frequently and only when I feel that the top soil is dry.
Please suggest what am I doing wrong.
Also, the new leaves are not growing as big as I would have liked. I have not repotted since I got it and have also read something about pH balance of soil but dont know much. Please guide.
here’s a good article on your plant and lists the problem you are having. Good luck, it’s a beautiful plant.
