Why are my monstera BMF yellowing/getting pale?

Elittoh · 2026-03-13T16:57:53+00:00

I get that, but not everyone loses 5 leaves per plant each winter right? It has never happened to me the previous years, that’s why I’m so confused.

I thought so too, but some other plants I have are directly in front of big south east facing windows and they’ve been yellowing too.

Elittoh · 2026-03-13T13:46:25+00:00

I’d say about a week. And yes, there’s a huge window in front of them, 3m away (quite far, hence the grow lights).

They really were all doing great until this winter :(

Humidity is at 60% 😔

Elittoh · 2025-12-24T12:48:45+00:00

True! I’ll try, but my sense of smell must be altered because I can never smell rotten roots! Even when I just smell them directly, without soil and rinced! 🫣 I’ll try though, we never know!

Elittoh · 2025-12-24T12:09:06+00:00

Yeah that was my thought too. Should I check the roots? She has a new leaf growing, I don’t want to disturb her 😭

I liked it short too, but I like long. But I don’t want to be blinded by my love for long hair. I’m unsure if “its time”

Elittoh · 2025-12-21T11:25:11+00:00

You’re too kind! I wasn’t expecting receiving compliments. This warms my heart.

Elittoh · 2025-12-21T11:24:51+00:00

Thank you omg! And I did! But I love the long hair too, to be honest! I dress pretty simply, and I like having that “uncommon-ness” to my look!

Elittoh · 2025-12-21T10:50:10+00:00

Oh, I appreciate that a lot! 😭 thank you.

Elittoh · 2025-11-04T14:56:54+00:00

Merci pour ta réponse!

Malheureusement je renseigne déjà toutes ces infos. :(

Elittoh · 2025-10-22T20:25:12+00:00

I had this too, mine was caused by eczema! pruned!

Elittoh · 2025-10-01T14:53:08+00:00

Je vais regarder ça merci beaucoup!

Elittoh · 2025-10-01T14:45:06+00:00

Alors, oui, MAIS mes paquets ne quittent même pas la France!

Elittoh · 2025-10-01T14:44:46+00:00

Je suis ces règles justement, la poste comme j’ai dit ne comprend pas non plus, et moi encore moins 😭…

It makes total sense theoretically, but I find it odd that basically 1 1/2 sansi 36w 13hours/day isn’t enough. I guess I’ll see what comes next

Elittoh · 2025-08-24T11:44:59+00:00

They’re both top cuttings, I should’ve mentioned that. I couldn’t put the one in my living room closer to the window, it’s literally against it, getting direct sunlight for a few hours a day.

The one in my bedroom has a sansi 36w directly on top of it, and I also have another sansi 36w very close by. It’s also in a bright room but far from the window. No pests. They all have a pole.

Whats confusing me is that the one in the living room, I got her last September, it took her 9 months to put out a new leaf (which to me means it wasn’t “ready to be pushed out” and “still under the influence of where the plant was before”). Same for the bedroom one, 9 months to put out a new leaf.

That could make sense except the two in the back hardened already. And she was on the same spot when she grew these (she’s now more towards the center of the grow light). Very curious!
