Monstera adansonii

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while low light may reduce growth and leaf fenestration.

Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Let the top 1–2 inches (2–5 cm) of soil dry out between waterings. Water less frequently during the winter months.

Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). It prefers higher humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions. If humidity is low, the leaves may curl or develop brown edges.

Soil
Use a well-draining, airy potting mix. A blend with perlite, coco coir, and orchid bark works well to support healthy roots.

Fertilizing
Feed once a month during the growing season (spring to fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. No need to fertilize in winter when growth slows.

Pruning & Maintenance
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. It can get leggy without support, so consider using a trellis or moss pole for vertical growth.

Pests
Generally resistant but may attract pests like spider mites or thrips. Regularly check the undersides of the leaves and rinse occasionally to prevent infestations.
