Hello all i havee this Monstera obliqua 'Leichtlinii' i ve noticed in last period have done some strange yellow leaves, leaves become yellow with no apparent reason(not lower). yellow leaves stay alive for 2 3 week in good condition then start die.

Do younve any idea about the problem? Thabks for help







(transparent thing on leaves is neem oil only)

Um, 2 thoughts. Look at the trunk (the real stem). Is there any white striping?

2nd thought, It may be uneven nutrition. What is your fertilizing regimen.

3rd, you plant is not a Monstera obliqua. Its a round form M. adansonii that is sometimes called Monstera adansonii lecheriana

Hello, thanks for your kind help Gina, i attach some photo of trunk.. i don t see white stripes. The strange thing is that yellow leaves stay alive a lot. I use same fertilization program of other aroid, i use orchid fertilizer 4 4 4 with fish mix and bio heaven (biobizz) . Fishmix is more or less fish manure. Bio Heaven stimulates enzymatic activity and the rapid absorption of nutrients, while increasing the amount of chelate of essential macro and micronutrients. Plants are consequently more prone to encapsulate hydration and better resist moisture stress, is also a source of carbonic acid for soil microorganisms.







The only strange thing i use is that plant have soil of perlite and peat only with no bark, maybe is only a strange reaction to it, because don t seem root rot

Thanks again for everithing Gina

I thought maybe you had a variegated form for a minute but I don;t see any white on the stem or petioles. Perhaps they are just old leaves dropping off? Overall the plant looks healthy

yes is strange also to me expecially because usually in aroids are older leaves yellowing when new one sprout and it s faster, here yellow leaves stay alive for 3 week or 1 month before die....and are all yellow without damage

I am wondering if they are randomly expressed variegation
