Monstera Thai Constellation

The Monstera, also known as Window Leaf, is an impressive houseplant that creates a majestic presence in your home with its large, holey leaves. Here are some important care tips to ensure your Monstera grows healthy and vibrant.
 
Location:
Place your Monstera in a location with bright, indirect light. It tolerates more or less light, but growth may be slower. Avoid direct exposure to midday sun as this can burn the leaves.
 
Irrigation:
Keep the substrate slightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings before watering again. Make sure the pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
 
Substrate:
Use a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic materials. The Monstera thrives in a loose substrate that retains moisture but does not smother it.
 
Fertilization:
Fertilize your Monstera approximately every four to six weeks during the spring and summer growing seasons with a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer. Fertilization can be reduced in winter.
 
Temperature:
Monstera plants prefer warm temperatures between 18°C and 26°C. They can survive in lower temperatures but should be protected from cold drafts.
 
Humidity:
Monstera plants like higher humidity, but can also cope with lower humidity. Increase the humidity by regularly misting the leaves or placing a humidifier near the plant.
 
Repotting:
Young Monstera plants should be repotted into a slightly larger pot every few years. Older plants can be repotted less frequently. Choose a pot that is about 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter than the current pot.
 
Propagation:
Monstera plants can be easily propagated through cuttings. Cut off a healthy stem with one leaf and allow it to dry for a few days in water or substrate before planting.
 
Care instructions:
Occasionally clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust. Check regularly for pests such as thrips and spider mites and treat early if necessary.
