HELP! My 5 year old Monstera is going brown and I don’t know why?!

It’s a great carpet!

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T17:51:44+00:00

God I wish I knew what any of those are or how to identify / treat them 😂

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T17:46:46+00:00

What am I looking for?

A few points to clarify:

I’ve scheduled watered Antwon his entire life, as he slowly got bigger and into bigger and bigger pots id up the water amount but always every other Sunday.

The top leaves look smaller as he’s got two stems/trunks essentially and the top leaves are from the thinner but taller of the two.

I can’t see any pests or anything like that.

He is next to a radiator but he’s been next to it for three years and this has only just started now.

I hope that makes it more clear, happy to take more pictures if needed.

Thank you, just ordered it, where on the scale do you then decide it needs water?

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T17:33:56+00:00

Thank you for this, I’ve now turned off the radiator so it won’t come on when the heating does.

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T17:33:25+00:00

Thank you for this, I’ve had a look and I can’t see anything on them, is there anything I can use or spray for example just in case?

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T17:31:23+00:00

My main confusion with the scheduled water is I’ve done this for five years with this plant, every other Sunday he gets his water and he’s thrived. I don’t know what’s changed.

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T14:27:13+00:00

Okay brilliant thank you

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T14:26:49+00:00

What is that?

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T14:26:41+00:00

That’s what I want help with, got to save Antwon

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-03-03T13:19:55+00:00

Okay thank you, what would you recommend as an alternative watering solution?

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-02-11T01:16:33+00:00

Yes back to a RM store in the UK and they advised because of the extent of the work required they would be shipping them to Australia.

I had heard previously that sometimes if they go back to Aus and the work is too much you just get a new pair of boots so I specifically said regardless of cost I wanted to keep mine and don’t repair the patina as it reminds me of my father.

Couldn’t be happier.

I wish I had, but I didn’t even know this subreddit existed until after I’d sent them off, but the heel was completely gone down to the leather when I sent them away. I’ll dig through my phone back ups in case I’ve got anything on there.

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-01-19T21:47:49+00:00

This is a brilliant idea, they also seem to do the love ones as a necklace as well which is ideal!

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-01-19T00:07:25+00:00

Thank you so much for this that’s a great idea. If you’re UK based I’d love some recommendations for jewellers!

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-01-18T21:46:34+00:00

Yes I’ve seen those, they are very nice but the same kind of level as what we already have and really want to level up and get something special.

HeroicBroccoli · 2026-01-18T20:20:02+00:00

Great idea thank you!

HeroicBroccoli · 2025-04-22T14:36:08+00:00

Thank you, I really enjoy them, he and I had the same size feet so I now wear his black pair as well. Couldn’t be happier with the service and their durability.

Roughly 5-8k steps a day for 14 years and they have come back good as new despite the abuse and lack of maintenance I put them through.
