Quick profile

• Botanical group: Monstera deliciosa cultivar

• Origin: Central America

• Light: Bright indirect is best, tolerates medium

• Water: Moderate, let the top 2 inches of mix dry

• Humidity: Average home levels are fine, 50 to 60 percent preferred

• Pet safety: Not pet friendly

• Difficulty: Moderate and rewarding

Light that preserves variegation

Place near an east window or a few feet back from south or west exposures with sheer filtering. Lower light slows growth and can mute contrast. Strong midday sun can scorch white sectors, so keep direct rays off the foliage.

Watering that avoids root issues

Water thoroughly when the top couple of inches are dry. Empty saucers after watering. Underwatering shows as droop and crisping on leaf edges, while persistent moisture and yellowing point to overwatering. Good drainage is non negotiable.

The right potting mix

Choose a chunky aroid soil that breathes. A simple blend is quality potting mix with orchid bark and perlite or pumice. This keeps roots aerated and reduces the risk of rot while supporting faster, healthier growth.

Humidity and temperature

Room humidity of 40 to 60 percent suits most homes. Warmer rooms in the 68 to 80°F range encourage larger leaves and stronger fenestrations. Avoid cold drafts.

Feeding for growth and color

Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Pause feeding in the cooler months when growth naturally slows.

Train for bigger leaves

Give a moss pole or coco pole so aerial roots can attach. Lightly moisten the pole to encourage climbing. As the plant gains height, expect longer petioles and more dramatic splits.

Simple propagation

Take a stem cutting below a node, root in water or directly in moist aroid mix, and keep in bright, indirect light. Pot up once roots are established.

Troubleshooting

• Pale new growth and soft color: Increase indirect light

• Brown edges on white sectors: Low humidity or underwatering

• Yellowing lower leaves and soggy mix: Reduce watering and improve drainage

• Few or no splits: Provide brighter light and a vertical support
