This is actually the first helpful tip / video I've found for my progressively dying monstera. All of the other articles I've read are so contradictory. I hope it's not too late for my plant.
Any updates so far?

Thank you for this !!! Ive watched so many videos on this and everybody tells you a different thing. I like how you used actual examples . Now I know for sure I’m overwatering and I need to put my Monstera in a smaller pot. That’s my main problem . It takes weeks for the soil to dry out between watering but I have it in a 12 inch by 12 inch pot at least it might even be bigger and my monstera is not quite as big as your healthy one in this video. Mine looks the same as your overwatered one too. Yellowing of the leaves and black spots on leaves and now on the stems I’m noticing too. I haven’t watered it in weeks either. The soil is dry on first top two inches but way wet further down. All this time I’ve been doing the , “water when top two inches are dry” method that so many of these plant people on TH-cam say to do but it doesn’t work for me when I have it in such a large pot . The pot is decently not completely dry when I just waited for top two inches to be dry before I watered it again but I suppose a smaller pot I would be able to water that way. Is it best to downsize my pot or just water less in current pot?
Thank you .very much. I appreciate this
I have potted my monstera into a terra cotta pot and filled it with soil I had left over from the garden, turns out that soil is just perfect for my monstera it has grown tremendously since reporting it there, the soil I’ve accidentally used was the one for the garden grass which is in no way a plant soil because it very draining, turns out it’s perfect for my monstera and she absolutely loves it and is thriving.
I love how you explain things! I’ve watched countless videos in order to gain the right knowledge to take good care of all of my plants, and your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you!!!
Instablaster...
I wish you had pictures or video of repotting the plant. Root rot is hard to see sometimes
Great video, thanks! I liked how you went through the process of figuring out how overwatering happened, it's very methodical and thorough.
This is the most helpful monstera troubleshooting video I've found! Thank you!
New subscriber 🌱That’s what I need to remind myself is that I need to be patient with the traumatized plant with roots growing 😊
Your explanation was adequate for me; I don't need other visuals. I appreciate the use of cause and effect and analogy; now, I understand how to proceed. I have watched a few other videos and felt unsure how to save my plants. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the complete instructions I really appreciate it, instant subscriber!
This is so helpful! Love it dahling!
This is great! My monstera has been slowly dying for 3 months. I will try these rescue efforts. Thanks for posting!
So informative I really benefitted from this video thank you so much! Many great tips there and I never thought to check the soil moisture from the holes at the bottom. Brilliant!
Thanks for the info. Maybe I can use it to get my plant to turn around and grow better.
i have the same yellowing leaves on my monstera. just watered the plant and came across this video ! hopefully i will be more careful with it, just so i know now better. thanks a lot !
Thanks for the great video! Love from the USA 🇺🇸
Really enjoyed this! Very informative. My monstera has root rot so wish me luck!
Thanks very much! Very helpful and well-done video.
Really helpful - thank you!
Very helpful. Going to try this
Best video! Thanks for the helpful information.
Thank you so much - as I rescued quite a large Monstera from the side of the road (poor thing just had a note on it saying 'free' and I felt the guilt of driving past so went back to get it!) A lot of its leaves were yellow and I dumped its soil got a really nice big grey pot for it (a clever plastic one whereby the water doesn't dribble out the bottom?), spoke to it (as you do) repotted it (normal compost though?) and hoped for the best. The leaves have done exactly what you've described here so I've hope that it'll survive. I did do the classic thing of thinking 'it needs more water' so I'll leave it alone for now!!! Great video :D
Great video do you have a updated video following up if the plant has survived
Thank you for your video. My daughter brought me one for fathers day. As I work away from home 2-3 weeks at a time. I was unsure how much mater to give it and would always water before going away. However on my return from work had a couple of leaves completely brown with brown patches on the stems. I'm going to hold off watering for a while and open the blinds a little when I go away so it's not in the dark so long. Thanks again 🙏🙏😊
Great video! I love my Monstera. It’s amazing because it has gotten a few variegated leaves, and aerial roots that are insane. They are digging themselves into the dirt and I was told it was balancing itself and to leave it. Repotting it was a beast.
I always get confused because some say this is the Swiss cheese plant and others say that’s a different plant?
Thank u sm now I can help my baby! Over watering is such a bad habbit 🤦♀️
Really informative. Liked and subscribed 😁
So glad I found your video. I’ve liked and subscribed!
This should really help me, as I fear I repotted mine in too big a container, I’m getting some patchy leaves, which aren’t yellow, but not as dark green and the leaves are curling under a bit too. I’d thought this was through under-watering but I’d probably help it if I repot a bit smaller.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing 🙂Very useful and interesting video 😀😃
I have some indoor geraniums. One in particular, "Stretch" was HUGE with leaves every bit as big as your Monstera Deliosa, with massive blooms. I have not made a habit of trimming her, because I like the "wild" look. Anyway about a month ago, "Stretch's" leaves started going limp and then turning brown. It was at the top, bottom, and middle of the plant. New leaves and old leaves. At first it was only 1 or 2 leaves a day. As the problem increased, I wondered if she was root bound. I moved her from her 10" pot to a deep 16" pot. All new potting soil. I didn't realize that the weight of the pot meant I could not return her to the well lit upstairs bedroom, or even take her outdoors. Too heavy. I had to leave her in a downstairs room that doesn't get much light. The loss of leaves increased until yesterday I found myself removing 10 - 15 brown, dried up leaves a day. "Stretch" has gone from a lush full plant about 3' in diameter and 2 1/2' tall to a plant that is mostly stems. I'm heart broken. I'm assuming I must've caused this by over-watering. I thought I'd see if I could nurse her back to health then transplant her into a pot that is not so big and heavy. That would enable me to return her to the bright upstairs room. I fear now that it is too late to transplant her. She is too weak and dying. I'm guessing she has some root rot and cannot transport nutrients well. . I wonder if I gave her a heavy dose of antifungal if I could save her. What do you think?
Thank you
When you say to water it very very lightly what does that mean exactly? Thanks for the great vid, yours are always very informative👍🪴
very helpful video..I got mine two days back and will keep your tips in mind. I see you have a palm. I have pygmy date palm in my patio receiving 2 hours morning direct sun then shade. I got it a month back and potted it in good potting mix soil two weeks later with perlite and slow release fertilizer in a big pot. I cannot figure out why its leaves tips are brown and crusty? it just breaks after getting too crusty. I use moitsure meter so that I only water when it gets dry. Any suggestions?
Great video just bought one the other day. It had grown a bit wild and outwards before we got it so I staked it with thin supports as I want to encourage it to grow upwards. I see alot of people us moss poles am I better get one of these or will the thin supports be ok? They are approximately 4mm diameter. I also have the plant in a bathroom with a frosted window is it OK here?
What are the signs in root rot to look for when trimming the roots?
Hi, thanks for your advice on the monstera, should I snip off the yellowing leaf?
Hi , can you add a video for aloe Vera care
Yep! If you listen to the general consensus that it really loves water you will end up overwatering! I water mine when it is almost dry or the leaves start to drop just a tad. All of this with a water meter also..........:)
I received Monstera from a friend of mine, they had too many plants and it wasn't doing well so I kinda rescued it. The good thing is the plant started growing new leaves as soon as I brought it home, the bad thing is the previous leaves still drooping and one of them has brown spots and drooping more through time however it still maintains green and doesn't turn yellow for some reason. I still think it's dying though, should I just cut it off?
I have an extra large monstera that I have had for a few years and have never repotted. It is extremely healthy and is ALWAYS pushing out growth. BUT, some of my most mature leaves are starting to lose color in some areas (especially around the outer edges) I am panicked right now because they are the largest leaves. It still retains water and the roots are not growing out of the pot. Yet, it has very little dirt because it has grown so much. I know I am not over or under watering it because I check the soil daily. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Please answer!!
Omg, I just drenched mine after it being in the same state thinking it was going dry 😭
This is an excellent and succinct video. My monstera, that I've only had for about a month, is turning yellow just like yours. I did recently repot it to a similar sized space (the pot it came in was not draining properly), so I'm wondering if it could just be in shock? I've lost 4 leaves so far and it only has 7 more left. :( If you have any insight to know if it may just be on shock, I'd really appreciate it!
How is your plant doing now?
I only have one leaf which has yellowed completely. How to save it?
This was such a good video. I got yellow leaves too on my lovely monstera. I over watered her sadly. Did you get any gnats from over watering? If so, how did you deal with that?
fungal traps and a shit ton of neem oil!!!!!!!
Always with mosquito bits! I have 5 Monsteras!
hydrogen peroxide in the soil, make sure you give it enough to soak through the first inch or so of the soil, it’ll kill the eggs larvae and adult stages of fungal gnats. Worked like a charm of my palm and my jade tree
How long typically does it take for the soil to dry out? I bought mine about 1.5 weeks ago from Trader Joe’s and it was really heavy (overwatered I’m assuming) I had left it outside for the night but we got a bit of a storm so I ran out and saved it but still got a good soak.. I have one small small leaf turning yellow. Should I repot now? Or continue to wait a few weeks and let it dry out? I also added a few tampons to the soil 😬 hopefully that was okay
If my plants are overwatered, i take a chopstick and poke holes in the soil as many and as far as i can go to increase surface area. This helps to dry the soil faster. All the best!
Sir my monstera steam became loose
After propagated it's has air root
I need some advice
Also Monstera's may not have the right amount of light or your air filtering might be insufficient or cleaning. Mine acted funny when it had potting mix with chips in it. I changed it and rinsed off the plant and dried it leaves it loved it. He is growing and now needs repotting.reporting. I water him o ce a week.
I will save now my monstera by listening to geico.
Why do these monstera deliciosa have no aerial roots?
What of the middle of the leaf gone brown, burnt?
Hi Andrew, thanks for the video! Can I ask what do you mean by watering lightly?
Hi Rose
I mean't that rather than soaking the soil completely, just add a little water to moisten the soil. I'm not sure whether this is the right thing to do, but I'm always worried about about triggering further root rot.
Best wishes
Andrew
@@smartgardenguide2550 Thanks Andrew. And should I wait until my monstera completely dry out to the bone dry stage before watering it again?
I usually water mine once at least the top two inches of soil feels dry but you're better to let it dry out a little more if you are in doubt. They tolerate underwatering quite well, but as you can see from my video, it is easy to overwater them.
@@smartgardenguide2550 yes Andrew, I overwatered mine and I’m trying to revive them. Thanks for the tips and great video though. You’re awesome!
what is wrong ????? I put mine Madenhair plant in water with pebbles, spray everyday with rain waiter , moist soil . filter light and it dying everyday the frond turns curl up and brittle every morning when I wake up and have a few fronds left so what is wrong?/ ???
advise from the internet says not near a draft , but if I close the window at night it would be too dry and hot but if outside they would get a constant draught from different directions and they are ok. this is confusing!!!
Not sure why mine is growing smaller leaves now
"thats why the leaf TEPS go BRAYUNE"
Glad you appreciate the accent, lol.
@@smartgardenguide2550 no no you dont get it. im obsessed with ur accent
Where in Norn Iron are you from?
This makes no sense. I got it special soil and a well drained huge pot, and it's turning yellow. Yet my monsterra cuttings that have been in pure water are thriving. MIMS. /cry
When you say charcoal is that the same kind of charcoal they put in fish tanks
that's basically what ive used and it works great
qq... Do you think using a water globe would cause the over water effect?
I wanna try this but what’s the soil mixed? Mine looks exactly how that that’s on this video; needs help 😭
Thanks for the #monstera caring tips! 👍🏼🪴
Thank you for your informative video where you made it very easy to understand the process of overwatering, which is what I think I'm dealing with. I have an absolutely beautiful Monstera that slowly started to get limp, yellowing leaves. It is a large one in a huge grower pot so, I think it holds onto water quite a while and I've tried my best not to overwater but, I believe that's exactly what is happening. I've decided to take it out of its pot and cut away any rotted roots and repot it, keeping a close eye on its progress. Again, I appreciate your video and hope you have a blessed day.😇
Thank you!
