Quick answer
If your Monstera Deliciosa has general care, the most likely cause is: Monstera deliciosa is a tropical climbing vine from Mexico requiring bright filtered light and consistent moisture year-round. Without proper care it develops leaf burn from drying out, yellow leaves from overwatering, and reduced fenestration on new leaves from insufficient light.
Start here:
