Plant Care

Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but growth will be slower and leaves may be smaller. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves.

Water Requirements: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, then empty the saucer. Reduce watering in winter.

Fertilizer: Feed during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer about once a month. Follow the fertilizer's dilution instructions.

Soil: Use a well-draining, chunky soil mix. A mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite works well. Monstera dislike sitting in soggy soil.

Temperature: Prefers 65-85 degrees. Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and temperatures below about 50 degrees.

Pet Safety: Toxic
