Monstera deliciosa
Monstera deliciosa, the Swiss Cheese Plant, is more than just a houseplant—it’s a statement piece. With its distinctive split leaves, it brings a touch of the tropics into your home, adding both beauty and a bit of wild charm.
To keep your Monstera thriving:
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, much like the filtered sunlight of its natural habitat.
-
Water: Water when the top few inches of soil are dry, but avoid letting it sit in water.
-
Humidity: Appreciates a bit of extra humidity, but regular misting or a nearby humidifier will do.
-
Temperature: Keep it in a comfortable range of 60-80°F, away from cold drafts.
-
Feeding: Fertilize monthly during the growing season, but skip feeding in winter.
-
Pruning and Cleaning: Remove any yellowing leaves and dust the leaves to keep them healthy.
-
Repotting: Every couple of years, refresh its pot and soil to encourage continued growth.
With just a bit of care, your Monstera will continue to bring a touch of the exotic into your home, creating a lush and inviting atmosphere.
