Care Level:

Easy to Moderate, with attention to light and watering

• Large, heart-shaped leaves with distinctive splits and holes (fenestrations) as it matures
• Fast-growing, climbing plant that can reach impressive sizes indoors
• Air-purifying qualities
• 6" Pot

Care Requirements:

• Light: Monstera Deliciosa thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, more light encourages the development of the iconic leaf fenestrations. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Monstera prefers evenly moist soil but is tolerant of occasional drying out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
• Humidity: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels but is adaptable to average household conditions. Increasing humidity can help enhance the lushness of the leaves.
• Temperature: Monstera Deliciosa prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend designed for aroids or houseplants. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve aeration.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
