Care

General Maintenance: Monsteras like to be slightly rootbound, so they will not need to be repotted very often.  They can grow freely or be trained to climb up a trellis or moss pole for a more clean/compact look.  They are very easy to propagate by rooting cuttings with nodes in water until the roots are 2-3 inches long, and then planting into soil.

Temperature: Thrives in normal household temperatures, between 17ºC-26ºC.   Keep away from drafts and drastic temperature changes.

Light: Plenty of bright indirect light is ideal. 

Watering: Water once the top 2-3 inches of soil is dry.  Monsteras hate to be overwatered, so ensure your pot has proper drainage to avoid the roots sitting in excess water.

Soil: A well-draining potting mix is essential.  Adding perlite or orchid mix to your soil is a great way to improve drainage. 

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 3-4 weeks during the spring and summer months.
