Q.I Have A Monstera On An Indoor Patio That Gets Plenty Of Light And Is In A Warm Sunny Position In The Mornings And Shaded In The
afternoons. The plant was doing very well for about a year and now suddenly the leaves are getting black spots and rotting on the plant. I’ve cut these leaves off but it just seems to be travelling down the entire plant. Could somebody please give me some advise on saving this plant or should I cut my losses and get rid of it? Included is a picture of the leaves
