I just noticed this, what should I do? Sorry for the vague question but I can’t find any good articles on what this is.

Everything I find starts the same way “top 8 reasons for brown leaves”. Then says too much water, not enough water, too much light not enough light too much fertilizer not enough, wrong kind of fertilizer and so on and so on. That isn’t helpful! Do I just have to guess? Why is all plant knowledge basically voodoo?

I’m tempted to take a cutting so I have a spare to try again if it all goes wrong, but the plant only has 5 leaves, so I’m stressing out.

    The plant will adapt in time. Monsteras are tough but a bit dramatic at times.

    I forgot mine outside when I lived in an area that seldom frosted. It frosted hard (22F). I thought I had lost it. It came back from one little piece of stem.

    Just call it the diva it is and let it grow out of it.

      Thanks. I’ll leave it alone and give you an update when I know one way or the other. I really hope it settles back to its best self.
