How to care for a Monstera Deliciosa

Watering Monstera Deliciosa

Proper watering is crucial for the health of your Monstera Deliciosa. Water moderately about once a week, allowing the top centimeter of the potting soil to dry out slightly. During dry periods indoors, you can add extra moisture using [plant life support] or hydro grains. Be careful not to allow water to pool in the pot to prevent root rot.

Monstera Deliciosa light requirements

The Monstera Deliciosa grows best in bright, indirect light. Position the plant to avoid direct sunlight, as bright sunlight can burn the leaves. With too little light, the holes will grow more slowly and the leaves may remain smaller. Want to know how much light your plant needs?

Common problems

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves can indicate either too much water or too little nutrition. Always check the moisture content of the potting soil first. Soil that's too wet leads to root problems, while soil that's too dry stresses the plant. Consider feeding it with a balanced aroid plant food once a month.

Plant is dripping

Sometimes you'll see droplets on fresh leaves: guttation. This is a normal way for the Monstera Deliciosa to get rid of excess moisture. As long as the plant is otherwise healthy and the humidity isn't excessively high, there's no need to worry. Ensure good ventilation to prevent mold formation.

Pests

Spider mites and thrips like to feed on the soft undersides of leaves. Inspect your Monstera Deliciosa weekly. Remove pests by wiping the leaves with lukewarm water and, if necessary, use sticky traps for fungus gnats . Repeat the treatment until all visible pests are gone.

Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot

When the roots start pushing out the drainage holes, it's time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger and use fresh potting soil, such as our special [potting soil for aroids] . After repotting, give the plant a light watering to help the roots establish.

Brown leaf edges

Brown edges are often caused by low humidity or irregular watering. Increase the humidity with [Jungle Mist Spray] or place a humidifier in the room. Maintain a regular watering schedule and remove affected areas for a well-groomed appearance.
