Complete Guide to Monstera Care
The Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is one of the most popular houseplants due to its striking appearance and relatively easy care requirements.
Light Requirements
Monsteras thrive in bright, indirect light. While they can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can burn their leaves.
Watering Schedule
Water your Monstera when the top 2-3 inches of soil feels dry. These plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings.
Signs of Overwatering
Watch out for these signs of overwatering:
- Yellow leaves
- Wet soil
- Root rot
Propagation
Monsteras are relatively easy to propagate through stem cuttings. Make sure each cutting has at least one node.
Remember to place your cuttings in water or moist soil and keep them in a warm, humid environment while they develop roots.
