Why are the white parts of my variegated Monstera turning brown?

Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

The white parts of your variegated Monstera are turning brown likely due to a lack of chlorophyll, which makes these areas more susceptible to environmental stress. Over-watering can lead to root rot, hindering nutrient uptake, while under-watering causes desiccation. Low humidity, direct sunlight, or even fertilizer burn can also damage these delicate white tissues, as they lack the protective pigments of the green areas.
