Care for your Monstera
Monstera (Monstera deliciosa) is a popular and stylish indoor plant that has become a staple in many homes and offices due to its large, glossy leaves and distinctive, tropical appearance. Here are some tips on how to care for a Monstera:
​
Light: Monstera plants prefer bright, indirect light, but can tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight can burn their leaves, so it's best to avoid placing them in direct sunlight. If the plant is not receiving enough light, it may become leggy and produce smaller leaves.
Water: Monstera plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings, so wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the pot has good drainage and don't let the plant sit in water for too long. In addition, make sure to use room temperature water, as cold water can shock the plant.
Humidity: Monstera plants prefer humid conditions, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray of water near the plant can help increase humidity. Avoid placing the plant in drafty areas or near air conditioning or heating vents.
Soil: Monstera plants prefer well-draining soil, so use a well-draining potting mix and make sure the pot has drainage holes.
Temperature: Monstera plants prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and can tolerate a range of temperatures. Avoid placing them in drafty areas or near air conditioning or heating vents.
Fertilizer: Monstera plants benefit from regular fertilizing during the growing season. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season, and reduce frequency during the winter months.
Support: Monstera plants are climbers and can grow quite large, so providing a support structure such as a trellis or moss pole can help the plant grow tall and bushy.
Pruning: Monstera plants can become quite large and may benefit from occasional pruning to encourage bushy growth. Trim back any leggy stems or yellowing leaves with sharp, clean scissors.
Overall, Monstera plants are relatively low-maintenance plants that can thrive with moderate attention and care. With the right conditions, they can grow into attractive, healthy plants that can add a touch of tropical beauty to your indoor space.
