Question

Yes, it's wise to reduce fertilizer frequency if your Monstera is struggling. Over-fertilization can lead to nutrient burn, evidenced by brown leaf tips or edges. A struggling plant may have compromised roots, making it less able to process nutrients. Prioritize identifying the root cause of its stress, such as improper watering or light, before reintroducing a balanced, diluted fertilizer once it shows signs of recovery.
