Hi @juliehitchmangmail-com

Thanks for your question about your Monstera (Swiss Cheese Plant) and its browning and yellowing leaves.

The biggest cause of yellowing leave in house plants is either overwatering or chlorosis where the plant is struggling for iron and magnesium to create green chlorophyll. What I would do is ensure you’re only watering when the top inch of soil is dry. Also give the plant a good balanced liquid feed in case it’s a nutrient deficiency.
