Plant Care
Monstera Deliciosa Houseplant
- Monstera needs lots of space: They are perfect for the statement-making spot in the living room, rather than in a tight corner or on a windowsill.
- Monstera’s appeal is its dark green, shiny leaves. Keep it vibrant by cleaning the leaves gently with a damp cloth.
- Find a balance between shade and sun. Too much sun can make the leaves yellow and If it’s left in the dark, the plant will exhibit something called negative phototropism, where new leaves grow towards the dark, rather than the light. So indirect sun is best.
- Water Monstera moderately and evenly, about once a week. Wait until the soil is fairly dry before watering again. Keep in a fairly humid environment.
- To curb excessive growth, avoid re-potting too often and prune regularly by pinching off new growth.
The Monstera is a symbol of a long life and the honouring of elders and respected people.
