Hi, my monstera is slowly becoming yellow/brown,

i’m not sure if this is under or overwatering ? Or too much /not enough sun ? Or too hot ?

If someone has an advice

    If going off just that image of the leaf, it looks like too much water. They prefer to be kept a bit dryer than too moist

      Usually about once a week when it’s dry, and just some spray every 2 days…

      But there was a heatwave and maybe I watered too much at once because of that

    Can we see the rest of the plant? What does the soil look like? How much sun is it getting? Was it transplanted recently? As others have said Monsteras do like to dry out. Water just the soil once every week or so when soil feels dry, every two in slower seasons. Do not spray the leaves, make sure when you water you are giving it enough to encourage deep roots.

        It does look like overwatering and potentially too little sunlight. My indoor Monsteras have grow lights for 12 hours, outdoor they do well under a patio with partial sun through the screens to give you an idea. They do well in heat and humidity, as long as the soil isn’t crispy. Less of an issue indoors. Definitely let it dry out between waterings, best of luck!
