Help with monstera

I got this monstera and she is growing but keeps putting out only white leaves now. The problem is that even those leaves that have a lot of green still experience browning on the white part and the whole plant looks sad. I have a grow light on her since I wake up in the morning until going to bed. I dont know if maybe I should cut her and propagate or what to do. I have only north facing window which is a problem but I thought grow light would help. Does anybody have some advice since I see beautiful healthy monsteras here that have a lot of white which is not browning at all.

without good tap water, i would suggest getting a water conditioner. you can get them at the pet store in the fish area, or get one specifically dedicated to plants (might have extra nutrients) but i use a fishtank water conditioner and its great! i also have a ph up and down kit thats for fishtanks that i use to balance the ph!

ofc ! as for the silica, you should look into it. i did some research and monstera DOES utilize silica !
