Overwatering
Monstera deliciosa
DIAGNOSIS

Chronic soil overwatering. The root system is suffocating; lower leaves are losing turgor and yellowing from the base outward.


PLAN FOR THE COMING DAYS
  1. 01

    Stop watering for 7 days, let the top 3cm dry out

  2. 02

    Check drainage; if the pot has no holes, repot into one that does

  3. 03

    Remove fully yellowed leaves at the base, leave the rest


IN THE OWNER'S WORDS

"I thought I was overwatering — turned out the light was low so roots stayed wet too long."
