Monstera Care Guide

Provide very bright exposure, but avoid full sun, especially for outdoor plants.

For indoor cultivation, place the plant in an area that receives bright indirect light.

Outdoors, water the plant just enough to keep the soil slightly moist, as it is a moderately greedy plant.

Indoors, water the plant when the soil has slightly dried out, typically after one or two weeks.

For indoor potted plants, use a well-draining, peat-based soil mix, such as one made with perlite and pieces of bark.

For outdoor cultivation, plant in a rich and loose soil, ideally using garden soil and compost in equal parts.

Maintain indoor temperatures between 20–30 °C (68–86 °F) for optimal growth.

Protect the plant from frost, as it is killed by freezing temperatures and cannot withstand -1 °C (30 °F) for more than a few hours.

Maintain a steady minimum temperature of at least 13–15 °C (55–59 °F) for continuous growth, as growth ceases below 10 °C (50 °F).
