Care Guide
Provide a moss pole or trellis for the plant to climb; this encourages much larger leaves to develop.
Water thoroughly when the top two inches of the soil feel dry, generally once a week.
Position it in bright, indirect light; too little light will result in small leaves without splits.
Common Problems & Solutions
Why don't the new leaves on my Monstera have any splits or holes?
Lack of fenestration is primarily caused by low light. Move the plant closer to a bright window.
Why are there dark brown spots on my Monstera leaves?
Dark, mushy spots usually signify root rot caused by overwatering. Check the roots and adjust your watering schedule.
