I thought my new Monstera was just being dramatic but it took me a full month to realize the tap water in my building was the real problem.

I was about to give up after trying filtered water, a new spot, and a different fertilizer, but switching to distilled water for two weeks finally got it to push out a new leaf.

Honestly that sounds like a huge hassle for one plant. My monsteras have always done fine with regular tap water, even in hard water areas. You might have just had a weak plant to begin with.

My first monstera got those brown tips too until I switched to filtered water.
