Monstera obliqua is a rare and delicate plant that needs specific care to thrive. Here’s a complete care guide:
Light
-
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
-
It can tolerate lower light, but growth may slow.
Watering
-
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use filtered or rainwater if possible.
-
Reduce watering in cooler months.

Needs high humidity (ideally above 60–70%).

Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group it with other plants to increase moisture.
Soil
