Tips for a Stunning Monstera

The Monstera, often called the Swiss cheese plant, has become a beloved favorite among houseplant enthusiasts—and it’s easy to see why. With its stunning, fenesrated leaves and relatively easy care, the Monstera adds a bold, tropical touch to any space. We offer a few Monstera varieties, including the sought-after Thai Constellation. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your Monstera healthy and thriving.

The Perfect Spot for Your Monstera

Finding the right location is key to ensuring your Monstera flourishes. Here’s what to consider:

Light: Monsteras thrive in bright, indirect light. While they can tolerate some direct sun, too much can scorch their leaves. Place your Monstera near a window with filtered sunlight for the best results.

Temperature: These tropical beauties prefer temperatures between 18–25°C. Keep them away from cold drafts to avoid stress.

Humidity: While Monsteras are relatively forgiving, they do appreciate higher humidity. Misting the leaves occasionally with room-temperature water can help mimic their natural environment.

 Caring for Your Monstera

Proper care ensures your Monstera remains a show-stopping centrepiece. Follow these tips:

Watering: Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Monsteras dislike soggy roots, so ensure your pot has good drainage. Regular, moderate watering works best. Be sure to plant in a coarse medium, such as Molly's Aroid Mix.

Feeding: During the growing season (spring through autumn), feed your Monstera with a liquid indoor plant fertilizer every two weeks. Don't feed during winter months.

Pruning: Trim back long or unruly stems to shape your plant and encourage growth during your plants growing season. Use sharp, clean pruning shears.

Support: Larger varieties like Monstera Deliciosa benefit from a moss pole or similar support to encourage upward growth.

Cleaning: Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, allowing the plant to photosynthesize more effectively.
