Monstera Peru Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

The Monstera Peru thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

Watering Requirements

Water when the top inch of soil is dry. It prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

Ideal temperatures range between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). This tropical plant loves high humidity, so misting or using a humidifier helps maintain its lush foliage.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot every 1-2 years as it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining mix, and consider providing a moss pole for climbing support.

Decorating with the Monstera Peru

With its rich green leaves and climbing habit, Monstera Peru adds a bold statement to shelves, plant stands, or hanging planters.
