mature monstera plant 10-in Monstera Deliciosa

SUN

The Monstera Deliciosa prefers medium to bright, indirect light. Sunlight filtered through blinds or curtains at East and South-facing windows is ideal. Keep out of direct light and rotate regularly for even growth.

WATER

Water generously once the top 50%-75% of soil has dried, allowing a brief period of drought in between. Water should drain out each time before being discarded. Reduce frequency during fall and winter. Non-tap water is recommended.

AIR

Mimic a tropical environment with temperatures between 65º-80º and a high moisture content. Provide a regular boost of humidity by:

• Misting the leaves 3-4x per week with non-tap water
• Adding a humidifier nearby
• Creating a pebble tray that lives underneath the pot
• Placement in a bathroom or kitchen, if lighting is suitable  

PET FRIENDLY

Keep out of reach from curious pets. These are toxic when ingested

AESTHETIC

Monsteras are a distinct plant originating from Southern Mexico, Panama, and surrounding tropical areas. The Monstera Deliciosa grows large leaves that develop holes (known as fenestrations) as it matures. Under their native habitat of the rainforest canopy, these holes allow sunlight to reach lower leaves. They’re able to climb vertically using aerial roots. Indoors, these require a support system, such as a coco coir pole, to properly climb and can ascend 15 feet in height.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Active exposure to and care for plants has many proven wellbeing benefits, such as: 

• Lower stress levels
• Improved mood
• Superior mental clarity and focus

Monsteras benefit our physical health by absorbing toxins commonly found indoors, like benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene. Their humidifying capabilities will also help you sleep and breathe better. Keep their leaves free of dust for optimal photosynthesis, oxygen, and shine.

SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATIONS

Monsteras symbolize honor, and respect for long life, manifested by their own longevity. Place them in your home as a reminder to live a healthy, joyous life or gift them to a beloved family member to show them your love + appreciation.

OUR RECS

We recommend a ceramic planter with plenty of drainage to provide ideal moisture balance for your Monstera. When repotting, keep it in a planter of the same size or no more than 2 inches larger.  

A well-draining soil with amendments such as coco coir and/or perlite will provide a healthy balance of moisture retention, aeration, and drainage.
