TIL why my Monstera kept getting yellow leaves even though I watered it right

I had a whole week last month where three leaves turned yellow and I was about to toss the plant. Turned out I was using tap water and the fluoride was building up - switched to filtered water and it bounced back in 5 days. Anyone else have a plant freak out over something dumb like water quality?

Oh wow, so you're telling me my plant was basically throwing a tantrum over fancy water? Guess my Monstera thinks it's too good for the same stuff I drink. Next thing you know it'll be demanding filtered ice cubes or asking for a water sommelier.

Ha! Right? My snake plant literally dropped a leaf because I gave it tap water one time. Now I'm over here boiling water for a plant like it's some kind of royal fern or something. I swear they just wait until you're not looking to prove a point.
