설명
The plant shows signs consistent with root rot, a common problem in Monstera and other tropical houseplants when soil stays too wet or drainage is poor. Symptoms include yellowing and drooping lower leaves, stunted new growth, and a soil/substrate that remains moist for long periods. Infected roots turn brown or black, become mushy, and may emit a foul odor; healthy roots are white and crisp. Over time, the plant cannot take up water and nutrients effectively, causing more leaf yellowing, wilting, and eventual decline if not addressed. Causes include excessive watering, a pot without adequate drainage, or soil that retains water; fungal pathogens such as Phytophthora or Pythium can colonize the soggy root zone. Quick action combined with proper re-potting and a revised care routine dramatically increases chances of recovery.

3. Propagation, sanitation, and ongoing monitoring for prevention: If recovery remains slow or if you’d like to hedge your bets, propagate healthy cuttings to preserve part of the plant and reduce reliance on a fragile root system. Take a stem cutting with at least one node and one healthy leaf, then root in clean water or moist, sterile sphagnum moss until roots form. Once roots are visible, transplant into fresh, well-draining potting mix and place in bright indirect light. Maintain high humidity and avoid overwatering, adjusting as the cutting establishes. Sanitize all tools and pots before use (isopropyl alcohol or boiling water). Quarantine new or cuttings away from the main plant for a couple of weeks to prevent cross-contamination. Monitor for signs of fungus, rot, or pest activity and adjust care accordingly. If you observe persistent yellowing or soft spots on stems or leaves, re-evaluate the environment (light, water, humidity, airflow) and consider testing for soil-borne pathogens in severe or repeated cases. With careful propagation, sanitation, and regular monitoring, you can preserve the plant’s DNA while safeguarding the rest of your collection from similar problems.
