Sort of the quintessential houseplant. Great for beginners.

I absolutely love this plant. I ordered it by mail and was nervous it wouldn’t be ok but Jack has bloomed beautifully

I’ve had slight problems with yellowing and browning, but just give it a prune and she’ll be right!

So far I am loving my Monstera.
She has put out two beautiful leaves since I adopted her in September and she seems to be pretty low maintenance. I just have to get her a moss pole!

Not pet friendly! A moss pole encourages upwards growth and aerial root formation

This plant is toxic to pets, but my cats don’t bother with it—I haven’t had any problems. Be prepared to stake this plant/give it some form of support, as the leaves are very heavy (and Monstera deliciosa, in spite of its size, is actually a vine!).
If you’re interested in propagation, Monsteras are a great place to start! Just cut a leaf or two underneath a node on the main stalk, then place in water in a sunny place and wait for roots.

Well, a lot of tiny bugs like to sit on the leaves and stuff and they fly around when you go near it to water it. But this plant is very beautiful and lasts very long. Just don’t water it too much or forget to water it because it does act up a little bit. Like the leaves start to brown a little bit. But this plant is very easy to keep around. If you have a propagated piece, it tends to take a bit longer to grow. But that’s all that I would say about monstera plants.

Love the monstera. Had one in England that just grew and grew. This one in New Zealand I’ve had since tiny and it’s only about a year old. The only thing I don’t like is the air roots

I got this cutting and it was a struggle but she finally got two new leaves and seems like she’s getting it together! Definitely a survivor and can be relatively easy to handle so long as you have a humidifier and some light

One word… fenstrations! And they are lovely. Found Montell at a big box store, best of the worst kinda deal. But a good watering, some fertilizer and plenty of sun and he’s put out three huge spectacular leaves. Monsteras are easy to care for and love to show you how much they love you. One of my favorite plants. Just keep it watered, fertilize, plenty of sun and check for pests regularly. 100% would recommend.
