What's wrong with the yellow leaves of the newly planted Monstera?

1. Inadaptability

Reason: The newly planted Monstera will not adapt to the potting soil and the surrounding environment, causing the leaves to begin to turn yellow. This is a normal phenomenon.

Solution: If this is the reason, there is no need to worry. Just continue to keep it in its original place and take good care of it, waiting for it to recover slowly on its own, and the leaves will be able to grow normally afterwards.

2. Unsuitable soil quality

Reason: If the newly replaced potting soil is not suitable for its growth, the soil is relatively compacted and not breathable, and the roots cannot breathe in it, this situation will also occur.

Solution: You can loosen the soil, or mix fine sand, vermiculite, etc. into the soil to increase air permeability.

3. Improper water and fertilizer

Reason: The newly planted plant is still relatively fragile and needs a certain amount of water, but not too much water. It does not need fertilizer. Once too much fertilizer is applied, the roots will not be able to bear it.

Solution: Give appropriate water when just planting, but do not apply fertilizer.

4. Strong light

Reason: Newly planted Monstera cannot withstand strong light. Once exposed to excessive sunlight, its leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: Provide reasonable sunlight, expose to soft diffuse light, and move to a cool place after exposure to the sun.
