Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Monstera Deliciosa live plant is a rewarding experience, as these resilient plants are relatively forgiving. To ensure your large Monstera plant thrives, understanding its basic needs is key. It prefers bright, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, but too little light may lead to smaller leaves and reduced fenestration. An east-facing window or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window is often ideal. Rotate your plant occasionally to ensure even growth and light exposure for all sides.

Watering should be moderate and consistent. Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Typically, once a week is sufficient, but this can vary based on ambient temperature, humidity, and light levels. Overwatering is a common issue, so always check the soil moisture before watering again to prevent root rot. The Monstera Deliciosa also appreciates higher humidity, especially in drier indoor environments. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing the pot on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier. For optimal growth, use a well-draining potting mix, ideally an aroid-specific blend that allows for good aeration and drainage while retaining some moisture. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Pruning can help maintain its shape and size, and new growth can be pinched off to encourage a bushier plant rather than a vining one. This makes it an ideal easy care houseplant.
