| Hey experts , It's winter here in Australia and I ve been careful not to over water my indoor plants. However I do mist them twice or thrice a week to maintain humidity because of the heat from the heater. Are we supposed to mist the monstera/swiss cheese /fruit salad plant ? I notice a little black on one of my old leaves. One of the new ones at the bottom seems yellow too. Am I worrying too much or doing something wrong ? Here are the pictures. Thanks in advance.   |

| misting does nothing for humidity, in reality. I don't see any huge problem. Normal for an old leaf to decline now and then. Stop misting, just maintain good watering. ..come into the peace of wild things..-Wendell Berry Life is a buffet (anon) |

| It's more than likely due to the heat and low humidity of winter. You can raise humidity levels around your plant(s) by sitting the pots on trays of moist pebbles; keep a little water in the pebble tray, replacing as it evaporates. I think your Ceriman (Monstera deliciosa) will be fine as long as it isn't kept soggy or allowed to completely dry out; once your weather warms up and you can move it outside for fresh air, you should see more rapid growth of new leaves. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
