Monstera Deliciosa Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

The Monstera thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may scorch its leaves.

Watering Requirements

Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Monsteras appreciate higher humidity but adapt well to standard indoor environments.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

Keep temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Maintain moderate to high humidity by misting or using a humidifier.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage lush foliage.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and support growth. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and encourage healthy photosynthesis.

Decorating with Monstera Deliciosa

With its large, split leaves, Monstera Deliciosa makes a striking statement in any room. Place it in a decorative pot or let it climb with a moss pole for an eye-catching vertical display.
