Monstera Deliciosas are fast growers and very easy care. Leaves are lush and HUGE in right conditions. My monstera is in a sw filtered light window and has 70ish humidity level from a Levoit humidifier.

If you want more fenestrations, I recommend training your monstera by moving it 4-6 inches closer to a window every 2 weeks and see which point it grows best in. If it’s a baby then only move it 2-4 inches every 2 weeks

Can irritate the mouth and GI tract of cats and dogs if they like to eat your plants 🤔

Super easy to care for- grows quite big -youve gotta learn how to handle it as it’ll get up to 1.5 meters in less than a year. But absolutely beautiful

I love my Swiss cheese already!! But I’ve noticed they can be quite high maintenance when it comes to using stakes and twine to help them stay up right. Would totally recommend to give your house or apartment a jungle feel!

Monstera deliciosa is one of my favorite plants and I’m a beginner, they grow pretty fast too. I like that they don’t need too much humidity and aren’t too fragile! It’s so exciting to see each new leaf’s fenestrations!

My first real plant I bought & I have thoroughly enjoyed learning as she grows! She keeps putting out new growth with minimal maintenance, and it’s winter?! Would recommend to any plant parent :)

mine grows fast and i LOVE the leaves... i have another one in the more shady part of my room and i noticed it doesn’t grow as fast as the one next to the window. these do better by south facing windows but i have north facing window and it’s doing just fine.

Make sure you have it right near a window and make sure the arial roots have access to extra water in a little dish, it will help new leaves grow faster.

Unique beautiful plant. I do dance my plants around the yard , this one moves quite a bit in sun and shade for little bits of time. Most days she sits under my gazebo enjoying the humidity .

Hi! Love this plant to death, but NOT pet friendly at all. It is actually poisonous to humans, cats and dogs. Eating it causes oral pain, oral swelling, excessive drooling, vomiting, and stomach pains. If you have pets, please do not get this plant!!!

Other than the statement above, its a great household plant. Its got ginormous hole-y leaves, they're so easy to propagate, and they grow extremely fast. Just got a new one about a week or so ago and its already got a new leaf. Happy growing!!

No direct sunlight, this plant prefers a room bathed in indirect to medium light. I placed it about 5 feet from my west facing windows (2) and my leaves started turning yellow :/ it’s good to invest in soil that particular to this species plus adding worm castings. I get these products from local vendors on Etsy.

I love watching the leaves unfurl. A stake or pole is a good idea, it’ll equal bigger leaves

Plan on having this plant get BIG, especially WIDE because the petioles will hang over from the weight of the leaves. I let my Monstera deliciosa’s soil dry a bit before watering to prevent root rot, and it gets medium, indirect light about six feet from an east facing window. Also, the leaves are delicate, at least while young, so they will develop brown, dry blemishes if injured.
