    Really bad thrips infestation, separate from your other plants immediately and wash them all off. Try an insecticide too, spray completely once every 3 days for a month or two

    Thrips. Monstera plants are very suseptible to them.

    Treat with warm water and dish soap or insecticidal soap

    Thrips suck the juices out of the plant leaves.

    Google how to prevent thrips and how to treat them.

    Thrips. TRUST ME when I say isolate that plant ASAP and buy Bonide Systemic Granules and Captain Jack’s Dead Bug Brew on Amazon. This is the holy grail for thrips. Dish soap and neem oil do not work. I also recommend spraying down the plant with the hose or in the shower prior to treatment if you can. But be careful when moving the plant… they can travel to other plants in the wind or on your clothes. Check for thrips on all plants and treat them with the systemic granules because thrips spread so fast. I would also treat any plants around this one with the dead bug brew. You have to spray top and bottom of every leaf. I underestimated them and treated them like any other pest and deeply regretted it.. they spread to plants in every room of my home. It was a nightmare. I ended up treating every single plant as if it had thrips (with the granules and dead bug brew) and that finally stopped the infestation/spread. Good luck friend!
