All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
The Monstera Adansonii is native to the rainforests of Central and South America, where it naturally climbs up giant trees to reach light. The famous fenestrations aren't just for decoration; they are thought to help the plant withstand strong tropical winds and allow light to filter down to its lower leaves.
How to Keep It Happy
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can burn its delicate leaves.
- Water: Water thoroughly when the top two inches of soil feel dry. Ensure the pot has excellent drainage.
- Humidity: Loves high humidity (50%+), achieved through misting, grouping with other plants, or a humidifier.
- Soil: Use a chunky, well draining mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark.
- Temperature: Keep it consistently warm, ideally between 18 and 27°C, away from cold drafts.
