Light
This Monstera thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its variegated leaves, while low light may reduce its striking coloration.

Humidity & temperature
Keep temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Higher humidity levels encourage healthy growth, so misting or using a humidifier can be beneficial.
