🚨 Urgent plant help for jungle mint

I got this Monstera Jungle Mint on 18 September.
The plant had some root rot.
I removed the damaged roots and repotted it.
I also applied SAAF fungicide to the remaining roots.
After 5 days, I checked the roots again.
There was no new root growth.
I removed the SAAF from the roots.
I repotted the plant in an unglazed clay pot.
I used a very chunky mix of soil, brick chunks, charcoal, pumice, perlite, and coco husk.
After about 7 days, the brown areas on the leaf continued to increase.
The first photo was taken on 3 October.
The second photo was taken today.
Before this, I kept the plant outdoors. The temperature was around 33°C, with some harsh afternoon sun. I moved it indoors to an east-facing window because I was concerned about heat and sun stress.
Today, I noticed that the brown area on the largest leaf was still getting bigger.
I decided to check the roots again.
The plant had been in the unglazed clay pot for about 9 days. There was still no new root growth.
The roots felt very cold and dehydrated.
The plant was indoors on an east-facing windowsill, and the AC was running in the room. I think the low temperature and dry air from the AC may have affected the roots.
I have now repotted the plant again in a transparent pot.
I have placed it outdoors in bright indirect light.
What should I do now?
Is the plant still suffering from root rot?
Could the increasing brown areas have another cause?
Are the roots dehydrated rather than rotting?
Should I leave the plant alone now, or should I take further action?
What is the best way to encourage new root growth and save the plant?
I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with a Monstera recovering from root rot.

New growth coming in dead?

Have had this plant for maybe a year now and the new growth coming in always looks dead/burnt. I’ve removed the older growth in hopes that new growth would be more vibrant but the same this is happening again. Any advice on how to proceed?

Do I have multiple Monstera plants in one pot?

I was gifted this plant at work in late June. Looking at it now, I’m wondering if it’s actually multiple monstera plants?

If it is, should I transplant them in separate pots?

Also, I’m a total plant noob so I don’t know if the pot setup is okay. The bins are temporary. I eventually want to get some sort of plant shelf.

Any advice is appreciated!!

New leaf has been stuck unfurling for over a week What should I do?

My Monstera has been trying to unfurl a new leaf for over a week, but it seems like it has gotten stuck. It’s been in basically the same position for several days and doesn’t seem to be making much progress.
The leaf otherwise looks healthy, and I don’t see any obvious damage or pests.
Should I just leave it alone and give it more time, or is there something I should do to help it unfurl? I’ve heard people mention increasing humidity or gently misting the leaf, but I don’t want to damage it by trying to force it open.
Any advice from experienced Monstera growers would be appreciated!

Pilea going pale

I water it about once a week, sometimes 5 days, sometimes 8 days depending on the soil, and always let it drain. I got it from a plant shop that said bright indirect light is best, but it started going pale and had a few leaves drop off. Any help is appreciated!

Third picture is of when I first got it.

Why has my cactus developed a crust?

A crust has formed on the surface of my cactus. That's not good, is it? He's standing on the north window. I water it a few days after the dirt is completely dry (or when I remember about it). Does anyone know what this is and is there a way to fix it? FINISHED

Can I cut this to propagate a new plant?

My neighbor moved and gave this plant to me because she couldn’t fit it in the moving truck. It looks like a small tree but it doesn’t seem like it should be growing this way. Can I cut a branch with the leaves on it and stick it in a pot to regrow?

Why is my potted grass so droopy?

It did get repotted into this pot a week ago, do I just need to wait for it to fully settle?
It is a chunk from my lawn, been slowly adjusting it to my watering schedule still.
