Monstera Adansonii in Moss Pole

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate medium light, but growth slows.

• Avoid direct harsh sunlight — it can scorch the leaves.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.

• In warmer months, this may be weekly; in winter, less often.

• Use room-temperature water and ensure the pot has drainage holes.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–27 °C 

• Loves high humidity (60%+). Use a pebble tray, humidifier, or mist occasionally.

🌱 Soil

• A well-draining, chunky mix works best (e.g., potting soil + perlite + orchid bark).

• Avoid heavy, compact soils to prevent root rot.

🍽️ Fertilizer

• During spring and summer, fertilize every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.

• No need to fertilize in the colder months when growth slows.

✂️ Pruning & Training

• Trim leggy vines or damaged leaves with clean scissors to encourage bushier growth.
  

🌱 Repotting

• Every 1–2 years or when roots are circling the pot.

• Move up only one pot size at a time.

🐛 Common Issues

• Yellow leaves → overwatering or poor drainage.

• Brown edges → low humidity or underwatering.

• Pests → check for spider mites, mealybugs, and scale; wipe leaves and use insecticidal soap if needed
