Attentively examine flower. If have turned yellow lower leaves (at the same time on yellow, kind of indistinct spots brown specks appear), and the appearing new leaves small and dark, most likely, is not enough for monstera moisture. Increase watering. If all leaves turn yellow, at the same time they have pale coloring, so your monstera, on the contrary, receives too much sunlight. Move away her from hit of direct sunshine or create easy shadow, having put screen or having closed window leaky curtain. At lack of light the monstera leaves turn yellow too and fall down. If not to take urgent measures to rescue, over time it is possible to observe naked trunk (all leaves have fallen down) and small pale green leaves on top. The monstera will normally not develop in deep shadow, move it closer to window. If leaves of monstera turn yellow and along with it you have noticed traces of rotting and withering, the reason can be in overwetting. Limit watering, and just remove the turned yellow leaves. If have found strongly begun to rot roots, get monstera from pot, accurately shake off butt, cut off the decayed backs (them it has to be well visible) then powder them with powder of wood charcoal. Then plant flower in pot of the smaller size, powder with the damp soil, slightly condense with fingers soil. Three days do not water plant.

Also normal wood ashes – 2 tablespoons on 3 l of water will approach. And with approach of spring or fall pave more nutritious way (on 2 parts of the cespitose earth and humus and by 1 part of bank sand and peat) and replace monstera. You can buy ready soil in specialized shop. Yellow spots on leaves can be caused by wreckers – web tick or shchitovka. Process monstera special medicines. For example, means of Aktar or Fitoverm (attentively read the instruction on packings). Leaves of monstera turn yellow, become covered by brown spots and fall down at dry and too hot air in the house. Remove plant from the battery, spray it with cool water more often and arrange shower in the bathroom. The monstera will be grateful to you.
