Plant Care Instructions:
Light:
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. It can tolerate lower light levels but may grow slower.
Water:
Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so water sparingly and adjust based on the plant's needs.
Humidity:
Prefers high humidity but can adapt to normal household levels. Mist the leaves or place near a humidifier to increase humidity.
Temperature:
Maintain a warm temperature between 65-85°F (18-30°C). Protect it from cold drafts.
Soil:
Well-draining, aerated potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for good drainage.
Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Reduce in winter.
Pruning and Maintenance:
Prune to control size and shape. Remove yellow or damaged leaves and encourage upward growth using a moss pole or support.
Repotting:
Repot every 1-2 years or when outgrowing the current pot, using slightly larger containers and fresh potting mix.
Pests and Diseases:
Monitor for pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat promptly with appropriate insecticidal treatments.
Propagation:
Easily propagated through stem cuttings. Place in water or soil for rooting, and transplant once roots develop.
By following these care guidelines, you can keep your Philodendron Monstera healthy and thriving.
