Monstera Yellow At Base. If the leaves of your Monstera adansonii plants start to turn yellow it is a sign that something is not right. The Monstera Borsigiana Aurea is also known as Marmorata and Yellow Variegated Monstera.
Yellow leaves or stems Yellowing is a milder sign that your monstera might be over-watered. They prefer a soil mix with a slightly acidic pH in the range of 55-65. Monstera leaves turning yellow is a common sign that one of these elements is out of balance be it overwatering underwatering prolonged or insufficient exposure to light sources lack of nutritional supplements in the soil base or shock caused from repotting or propagation.
Tropical plants grow best in temperatures between 65-80 F When the temperature drops below this level the plants growth may slow and leaves may begin to turn yellow.
Pruning - Remove dry or dead leaves all year round but save any major pruning for the spring and summer months. After extensive research I found that there are several reasons why the leaves of your Monstera are turning yellow. A soil mix containing 1 part peat mosscoco coir 1 part perlite and 4 parts pine bark fines is an excellent mix for Monsteras. The Monstera Borsigiana Aurea plant produces yellow variegation whereas the Monstera Borsigiana Albo plant gives rise to white variegation.
