Light

Prefers indirect light, can handle partial shade. If we want to grow the plant on a window, it is best to choose one that faces west or east. With a lack of light, its leaves may not be properly shaped and the plant will not grow well.

Watering

Water in 1-2 weeks, monstera prefers wetter soil. However, let the upper part of the substrate dry out between waterings. Overwatering could cause rotting of the roots.

Humidity

It is a tropical plant, so it requires dewing of the leaves.

Propagation

Stem cuttings, ideally in spring. It is enough to cut the leaf together with the aerial root and let it take root, preferably in water, but it is also possible in soil.

Common problems

Overwatering: Too much water can cause root rot, yellowing and leaf drop.
Browning of leaf edges, curling: Cold and draft.
Withered leaves, browning of their tips: Too dry air.
Brown spots on leaves: Burn of leaves from direct sunlight.
Weevils (in case of excess light), worms, aphids, thrips: We deal with special sprays.
