General Monstera Care
- Light – Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some lower light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering – Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure the pot has drainage to prevent overwatering and root rot. Reduce watering in winter.
- Humidity – Thrives in high humidity but adapts to average indoor levels. Use a humidifier, mist occasionally, or place near a pebble tray to increase humidity.
- Temperature – Ideal range is 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and heating vents.
- Soil – Use a well-draining, airy mix rich in organic matter. A blend of peat moss, orchid bark, and perlite works best.
- Fertilizing – Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
- Pruning – Trim yellow or damaged leaves as needed. Prune to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.
- Repotting – Repot every 1–2 years, or when roots outgrow the container. Choose a pot 1–2 inches larger with proper drainage.
- Propagation – Easily propagated via stem cuttings with at least one node. Cuttings can be rooted in water or soil.
- Pests & Problems – Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering, while brown tips may signal low humidity.
- Support – Climbing varieties, like Monstera deliciosa, benefit from a moss pole or trellis to encourage upright growth and larger leaves.
