Monstera Deliciosa
The Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a timeless favorite that adds a touch of tropical elegance to any space. With its large, glossy leaves and distinctive natural holes, this striking plant brings an exotic flair that transforms your home into a lush green haven. Available in multiple sizes, from 4" to 12" nursery pots, the Monstera Deliciosa is versatile enough to fit any room or decor.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Monstera Deliciosa thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. In the winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows.
- Humidity: This tropical plant loves humidity. To increase humidity, mist the leaves regularly or place the pot on a tray with pebbles and water.
- Temperature: Keep the Monstera in a room with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It does not tolerate cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.
- Food: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth. We offer several options.
Suggested Placement:
- Living Room: Position a larger Monstera in a well-lit corner or near a window with filtered light to create a bold, tropical statement.
- Bedroom: Place a smaller Monstera on a dresser or nightstand to add a touch of greenery and tranquility to your personal space.
- Office: Brighten your workspace by placing a Monstera on your desk or on a plant stand near indirect light. Its lush leaves can create a calming atmosphere, enhancing focus and productivity.
- Entryway: Welcome guests with a mid-sized Monstera placed near your entryway or hallway, adding a vibrant and inviting touch to your home.
