Monstera Dubia Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

The Monstera Dubia thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, its growth will slow. Providing a climbing surface with access to filtered light mimics its natural habitat and promotes healthy development.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. Moderate humidity helps maintain its vibrant foliage, making it a great choice for tropical-themed indoor spaces.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

This tropical plant thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). It prefers high humidity, so misting or placing it near a humidifier will encourage lush growth.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed your Monstera Dubia with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Regular feeding supports its climbing habit and encourages strong, healthy foliage.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide space for growth. Attach it to a moss pole or wooden board to encourage its unique shingling effect. Trim dead or damaged leaves to maintain its striking appearance.

Decorating with the Monstera Dubia

With its shingling growth and elegant foliage, the Monstera Dubia adds a touch of the rainforest to any space. Mount it on a decorative wooden board or let it climb a trellis for a dramatic effect.
