Monstera
Care Guide
Sun requirements
Keep it consistent: Because Monsteras grow toward the light (phototropism), not rotating them means they will develop a "front" and "back." Place it in a spot where it receives bright, indirect light from one direction, such as 3-6 feet from a large east- or west-facing window.
Feeding and cleaning
While they tolerate average home humidity, they thrive in 60-80%
humidity.
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to
remove dust, which allows the
leaves to absorb more light and
improves photosynthesis
Support
To keep a non-rotated plant upright,
use a moss pole or bamboo stakes.
Train the main stem to grow upward
against the support using plant
velcro or twine. This encourages
larger, more heavily fenestrated
leaves and acts as a structure for the
aerial roots to cling to.
Soil and drainage
Ensure the pot has drainage
holes to prevent waterlogged
roots.
Use a well-draining mix, such as
potting soil blended with
bark and perlite.

Want to keep your Monstera thriving? Swipe through for a few simple tips to help your favourite plant grow happy and healthy! 1️⃣ Sunlight: Place it in bright, indirect light — ideally 3–6 feet away from a large east- or west-facing window. Keep it in one spot without rotating so it develops a distinct front and back! 2️⃣ Humidity & Cleaning: Monsteras thrive in 60–80% humidity. Remember to wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to clear away dust and improve photosynthesis. 3️⃣ Support: Use a moss pole or bamboo stakes to keep your plant upright. Training the main stem with plant velcro or twine encourages larger, beautifully fenestrated leaves. 4️⃣ Soil & Drainage: Avoid waterlogged roots by ensuring your pot has drainage holes. Always use a well-draining potting soil blended with bark and perlite.
