Sample guide

Monstera deliciosa

Swiss cheese plant

Feel the top 3-5 cm of soil. If it is dry, water thoroughly and let excess water drain away. Check the soil rather than watering on a fixed day.

Growth often slows in a South African winter, so the soil may take longer to dry.

My Monstera has a yellow leaf. Am I doing something wrong?

One yellow leaf doesn't always mean trouble. Let's look for clues before changing your routine.

Check the soil first. If it is still wet a few centimetres down, wait before watering again and check that the pot drains freely.
Notice which leaves. An occasional older, lower leaf can yellow naturally. Several yellow leaves at once deserve a closer look.
Look at the light. Bright, indirect light is a good starting point for a Monstera. Avoid moving it suddenly into harsh sun.

Is it just one older leaf, or are newer leaves yellowing too?

A curated example, not a live chat. AI guidance helps you investigate, but isn't a certain diagnosis.
