When yellow and dead leaves appear on Monstera deliciosa, they should be cut off from the base and its root system should also be pruned. When it grows many side buds, cut them off in time. When it grows too lush, the branches that are too long should be cut short, and the branches that have grown too densely should be thinned out.

2. Prune side buds

1. Prune diseased leaves

When Monstera has yellow leaves and dead branches, it needs to be pruned. At this time, prepare a pair of scissors to cut off all the yellow branches and leaves from the base. If the plant has serious growth problems, it will need to be removed from its pot and its rotten roots will also need to be pruned.

2. Prune side buds

As it continues to grow, many lateral buds will appear on the plant. They will make the entire plant very bloated and affect the viewing experience. Therefore, when it grows many side buds, cut them off with scissors in time. This will not only make the plant more beautiful, but also reduce the consumption of a lot of nutrients and help it grow better.

3. Overall pruning

If the plant grows too lush and loses its ornamental value, it can also be pruned. First, cut off any branches that are too long to control the height of the plant. Then thin out the branches that are too dense to maintain the appropriate density. This will not only restore its beauty, but also help the remaining branches grow better.
