Don’t quote me on it since I’ve never experienced this, but fertilizer with minerals like phosphorus and magnesium. It’s a gorgeous and huge plant, and it’s likely sucked all the good stuff out of the soil

wow such a beautiful plant. It seems like it needs a bigger pot and fresh soil and fertilizers.

your plant doesn’t look like it’s dying to me. It’s losing some of its oldest leaves at the bottom, this is normal. Higher up the plant there is some browning which could be lack of nutrients, if you don’t fertilize, or slightly too low humidity, which is common indoors. However, the leaves are not maturing at the rate you would expect for this large of a plant. By this age/size you should have huge leaves with many holes and fenestrations. The plant is not getting enough light to produce those. It need to be more like directly in front of that door, which probably wont work but if you have a similar window, it needs to be in front of that. But- maybe you don’t care, it’s a pretty plant nonetheless so if you’re happy with it, it can stay. Monstera can have lots of different shapes and sizes and not everyone wants the humongous leaves or likes the look.

Browning leaf tips and yellowing leaves in the last for me was just underfed and/or underwatered. If you water when the soil is dry it’s probably fine. I’d get it started on some food. 🙂
Typically repot when the soil is well more than half roots and into a pot with drainage so you can really soak it at once then let dry out. If its been a while since repotting with fresh soil, 99% probs just needs food. Regular leaf browning without irregular spotting and marking of leaves does not suggest pest damage to me.

Whenever this happens to my plant Especially with the irregular pattern of yellowing, my first and top suspicion is always thrips. No other pests or water issue cause this sort of pattern. Check the leaves for very small white or yellow dots. If they move, well you got thrips. Bring this out to the yard and hose it down first and apply pesticide.

I’m going through similar issues – first I treated with systemic insecticide, fearing thrips. Then I realised I had only been giving it probiotics and not fertiliser – a plant this big sucks the good stuff out of the soil and we need to replenish it with a repot and/ or fertiliser. I’d also try to increase the humidity – a mist every day or so might help.
