Plant Care
Botanical name - monstera deliciosa
Origin - Central and South American rainforests
Medium Light
I'm a chilled and easy going houseplant, happy in most positions from light shade to bright indirect light. Although I grow faster and stronger in brighter light. Avoid harsh midday sun as they can scorch my leaves.
Regular Watering
Water me when the top two inches of soil are dry - just poke your finger in to check. Water me until you see it coming out of the bottom of my pot but don't leave me sitting in a puddle.
Remember to wipe down my leaves with a damp clean cloth to prevent dust build up to help me breathe.
I Like Humidity
Think rainforest! Keep my leaves moist and I'll be happy. Pop me in a bright bathroom or kitchen and spritz me twice a week.
Fun facts
The holes in my leaves are there to let the light through all the way to the bottom leaves.
