Monstera deliciosa

Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as Adam’s rib.
It is a very popular houseplant, prized for its large, glossy green leaves that develop characteristic slashes and holes as they mature.
Native to the rainforests of Central America, it is a favorite choice for adding a lush, tropical touch to indoor spaces.

Description

Some basic indications for the care of Monstera deliciosa:

  1. Light: It prefers bright indirect light, although it can adapt to lower light levels.
    Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn its leaves.
  2. Watering: Water when the soil is dry to the touch at the top.
    Monsteras do not like to be waterlogged, so make sure the pot drains well.
  3. Humidity: Loves high humidity, so may benefit from occasional misting or a humidifier, especially in dry climates or during the winter.
  4. Temperature: Keep the plant at a room temperature between 18-27°C (65-80°F).
    Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
  5. Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize monthly with a houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.
  6. Pruning: Prune yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy and to stimulate new growth.
  7. Support: Provides a support for the plant to climb, since in nature they usually climb trees.
  8. Transplanting: Transplant when the roots start to come out of the drainage holes, usually every two years.

By following these guidelines, your Monstera should continue to grow and stay healthy.
