Grew this plant from a cutting and it's only pushing out half and full moons 🥲
And they definitely don't survive under my growing conditions. 🫣
Liquid silica hasn't helped. Has anyone tested out if it's a matter of humidity or light exposure instead?

The leaf on the right looks a bit thrippy!
Ah man, I’ve been going through this a lot lately too… There was a time i was looking forward to more white, now it’s like sometimes you can’t escape it… Hang in there 💚
Suggestions: just chop and prop…nothing else you can do. If there is a sliver of green on the stem id give it one more leaf, if not id cut now.
Man, I see these and thing, ugh, lucky, cause my dumb little art brain it like, oh, I can cut this, dry it, and paint on it. It’s so cool, but won’t survive long term.
When you get leaves like this it’s the same with any other plant in which they cant produce photosynthesis without any green on the leaf correct and in turn it just dies off more quickly
It’s a scientific fact that these will senesce the white portions if the light requirements are not met. No need to test it.
You definitely need more light, like all of it. Its a combination of not drying out fast enough and the leaves not getting enough photosynthesis. Monsteras want to be in full light (behind windows that is). If you dont have a south (or south/east south/west) window, get some big grow lights. Drainage is the second most important thing. These things dont like to be wet, but they do like water. Here is my monstera albo with 9 months in-between with those conditions
