Monstera Deliciosa Care Tips:

Light: Provide the Monstera Deliciosa with bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and leaf development. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it thrives in moderate to bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Soil: Plant the Monstera Deliciosa in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging. A mixture of high-quality potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark provides excellent drainage and aeration. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Water the Monstera Deliciosa thoroughly when the top 75% of soil feels dry to the touch, and adjust the frequency based on environmental conditions. Use room temperature water to avoid shocking the roots.

Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels around the Monstera Deliciosa, as it thrives in humid environments. Regular misting, using a humidity tray, or placing it near a humidifier can help increase humidity levels, especially in dry indoor environments.

Temperature: Keep the Monstera Deliciosa in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as it prefers stable conditions.

Fertilization: Feed the Monstera Deliciosa with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Refrain from fertilizing during fall and winter, as growth slows down.

Pruning: Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance. Regularly prune the Monstera Deliciosa to encourage bushier growth and remove any leggy or overcrowded stems.
