Why did the small Monstera suddenly stop growing?

1. Sunburn

Reason: The plant of Monstera deliciosa is not strong. It needs a certain amount of sunlight to grow, but it cannot withstand the stimulation of harsh light. If it is suddenly exposed to strong light, it may cause the branches and leaves to shrink and the growth to stagnate.

Solution: Move it to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. Do not expose it to strong light, especially at noon in summer. Be sure to avoid strong light.

2. Lack of water

Reason: It needs water to grow and likes to grow in a humid environment. If it is not watered for a long time, the soil in the pot will be difficult to absorb water, and the growth of the plant will also be affected.

Solution: Add water appropriately. Water the plant when you find the soil in the pot is dry. Water the plant thoroughly at one time, but do not add too much water to prevent water accumulation and root rot.

3. Excessive fertilization

Reason: It has a certain demand for fertilizer, but if too much fertilizer is applied, it will burden the roots and make them unable to absorb, causing the roots to burn, affecting the transport function and leading to growth problems.

Solution: Apply fertilizer appropriately according to the growth. If you find that too much fertilizer is applied, you need to stop fertilizing and water abundantly.
