Monkey Mask Plant

Help!! She’s started to go yellow I don’t know what I’ve all of a sudden done wrong.

I got it over a year ago and it’s gone from tiny to huge! I can figure out what’s gone wrong maybe I need to repot?

any advice would be amazing! Thank you all

 

I don't know much about house plants, but the compost looks rather dark (wet?) to me. Plants sometimes go yellow when they are overwatered. Here’s a chap who can maybe tell you more…

Looks like sun or overheating damage and possible overwatering as Tidemark suggests. When watering allow excess water to drip out before putting it back on window ledge as the roots probably do not like sitting in water.

 

It's also possible that it's just naturally losing some of the older leaves near the base of the plant.

Do check the conditions though - correct amount of light, humidity, water etc. The full-size monstera isn't too fussy, but I don't know about those mini ones.

Make sure the pot has drainage holes that aren't blocked so excess water can drain out, and if you keep it in a decorative outer pot, make sure you empty out any water that collects in the bottom.

It looks like it wants to climb, so maybe give it a moss pole.

 

Agree with @JennyJB , it looks just fine to me and is probably just starting to grow into its natural, climbing shape by shedding the lower leaves.

The bad news is that Monstera is not awfully attractive plant for the first 1m or so, the stem is spindly and awkward and bare- but the glorious leaves more than make up the slightly unaestethic base.

I find that Monsteras have surprisingly small ground roots so too big pot might stay wet for too long. A suitable pot with good drainage holes and perhaps some crocks or clay pebbles is good, and a climbing pole or a plan to support the top growth somehow.

Diluted seaweed liquid is a good tonic to give a bit of a boost.

Oh, and now that you can still move it, a good shower and perhaps a gentle wipe with soapy water will get rid of any dust.
