Monstera Care Guide

Monstera Deliciosa

General Information

  • Most species develop fenestrations (holes/splits in the leaves)

  • Monstera are climbers, so they love growing up poles/planks of wood!

  • Native to Mexico and Central America.

Soil

  • Prefers a well-draining potting mix.

  • Not as picky as anthurium or alocasia though!

Water

  • Water thoroughly when top 2-3 inches of soil is dry.

  • Does not like to sit in soil that is too dry OR too moist.

Light

  • Bright indirect light is best, but can handle lower light.

  • Ex: a few feet back from a South or West facing

    window.
