Daily care and tips for Monstera

How do you care for a Monstera day to day?

Monstera needs regular but spaced-out watering, about once a week, allowing the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings.

Bright, indirect light encourages dense foliage with well-defined fenestrations. To keep the leaves clean and vibrant, regularly use our pair of microfiber gloves, ideal for gently removing dust while caring for the foliage and promoting optimal photosynthesis.

What kind of light is best for a Monstera?

Monstera prefers bright, indirect light, about 1 to 2 meters from a south- or east-facing window. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light slows its growth. If the room lacks light, our full-spectrum grow light can effectively make up for it without exposing the plant to direct sunlight.

Why are the leaves on my Monstera turning yellow?

Yellowing leaves are generally linked to overwatering, which suffocates the roots. Check that the growing medium dries out properly between waterings and that the pot has'good drainage. A lack of light or nutrients can also worsen this issue on the oldest leaves.

Can you put a Monstera outside in summer?

The Monstera can spend th'e summer outdoors if temperatures stay above 15°C at night and it's placed in the shade or in filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, which will quickly burn its foliage. Bring the plant indoors as soon as nighttime temperatures begin to drop in th'e fall.

How do you repot a Monstera?

Repot in spring, using a slightly larger pot with drainage holes, as soon as the roots have filled all the available space. Choose our Monstera potting mix, formulated for tropical plants, which promotes root aeration and renewed growth. If your Monstera has just been delivered, wait 2 to 3 weeks for it to acclimatize before repotting.

Is Monstera toxic to cats and dogs?
