Care Guide

Light: Monstera Deliciosa plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window where they can receive filtered sunlight throughout the day. They can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth may be slower.
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure that excess water drains away to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Soil: Plant Monstera Deliciosa in well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
Humidity: Monstera Deliciosa plants thrive in high humidity environments. Increase humidity levels by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby, especially during the dry winter months.
Fertilization: Feed Monstera Deliciosa with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make clean cuts, and avoid cutting into healthy tissue.
