Troubleshooting
Monstera Adansonii Mint problems — and how to fix them
Monstera Adansonii Mint (Monstera adansonii 'Mint') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Fading variegation
Low light pushes the mint variegation toward plain green. Maintain consistent bright indirect light and prune wholly green stems to keep the patterned growth coming.
Browning leaf edges
Dry air and salt buildup brown the lighter mint tissue and leaf margins. Raise humidity above 60% and flush the soil periodically to leach fertiliser salts.
Lack of holes
Juvenile plants or those in low light and without support make solid leaves. Give a moss pole and bright light to bring on mature, fenestrated foliage.
Overwatering rot
Yellowing, soft stems indicate soggy roots. Use an airy aroid mix and let the top inches dry before watering thoroughly again.
