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.

Humidity

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

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

Soil

  • Use a well-draining, chunky mix, like orchid bark, perlite, peat, and coco coir.

  • Avoid heavy soils that retain too much water.

Fertilizer

  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.

  • Reduce or stop feeding in fall and winter.

Potting

  • Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

  • Use a pot with drainage holes.

Propagation

  • Can be propagated by stem cuttings in water or sphagnum moss.

  • Make sure each cutting has a node.

Pests & Issues

  • Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips.

  • Yellow leaves can indicate overwatering; brown edges may mean low humidity
