Detailed Guide
Watering
Water your Monstera when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. In summer, this might be weekly; in winter, every 10-14 days. Overwatering leads to yellow leaves.
Light
Monstera thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can burn the leaves, while too little light results in smaller leaves without fenestrations.
Growth
These plants can grow quite large (up to 8 feet indoors). Provide a moss pole for support as they climb. Rotate regularly for even growth.
Common Issues
- Yellow leaves: Usually overwatering
- Brown edges: Low humidity
- No fenestrations: Not enough light
