MONSTERA DELICIOSA
The monstera, is tropically native to Mexico, where it’s mainly prized for its fruit (hence the scientific name). But it also thrives as a houseplant: It doesn’t need much water, tolerates medium amounts of sunlight, and can grow impressively large.
Pot size 10''. Tall over 3 feet.
Care Instruction
Plant in a peaty, well-draining soil in a pot with drainage holes.
Keep leaves clean and dust-free by washing with a cloth dipped in a solution of a drop of dishwashing detergent in a few cups of water.
Regular misting of its leaves.
When Monstera deliciosa outgrows its current pot (about every two years), transplant to a new pot a few inches larger in diameter and depth than the old one.
