It’s not just about looks, though—this Monstera is surprisingly easy to care for. With a bit of bright, indirect light and regular watering, it grows quickly and rewards you with fresh, fenestrated foliage almost constantly. It's an ideal pick for both beginners and collectors looking for a striking yet low-fuss plant.
-
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but too little may reduce the number and size of its signature holes.
-
Water: Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy—this plant doesn’t like to sit in water.
-
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. It will do fine in average homes but thrives with a bit of extra moisture in the air, especially during winter.
-
Temperature: Prefers warm conditions between 16–29°C. Protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
-
Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix—something airy with peat, coco coir, and perlite to help prevent root rot.
-
Feeding: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
-
Pruning: Trim to shape or control growth as needed—this plant responds well to pruning and will push out new growth quickly.
