I just picked up a monstera andosonii (or however you spell it) myself, it was in a water prop setup when I bought it, almost like flowers in a water vase for sale. But I fully intend to revive it inside of an aquaponic fish tank basket setup with grow lights and humidity control. Best of luck! Please post updates, im excited to be in contact with whoever is willing to do the same with me about plant experiences!

Check carefully for pests- the browning can be a sign of thrips or spidermites- if you can’t provide 100%humidity I’d refrain from too bright lighting or it will keep browning- mine has a shady spot with only 2hrs or so of some sun rays hitting it and is very happy with it – mosspole to stop it from making runners

Try to keep it out of direct sunlight. And maybe it needs a bit more water, the crispy leafs could be a sign for that.

Mine personally sits in bright indirect sunlight and is thriving. It started out looking like yours. I kept it in rehab isolated from my other plants under a grow light until it perked up then repotted and moved it to its permanent location. I water 1-2 times a week and got a support pole to encourage climbing.
Hm, if you aren’t the one that potted it, it could be worth it to unpot and just see what is going on with the roots. Is there part of an old plug that is hydrophobic and stuck around the main roots, potentially keeping it from getting a good drink? Maybe some dead roots? Maybe the soil just sucks?
