Description
Light: Thrives in bright indirect to medium light. Grows faster and becomes more dramatic (have the iconic slits) in a bright spot. Prolonged exposure to bright direct sunlight may burn and scorch their leaves.
While Monsteras can adapt to low light areas, their growth will slow. Too little light can results in yellowing leaves. Take note of the light your Monstera is receiving and move accordingly.
Watering: Water when the top 75% of soil is dry. Water thoroughly by letting the water drain through the bottom, empty the saucer of any water. This plant can benefit from using filtered watered or leaving out water at least 24 hours before using.
Leaves turning yellow indicates overwatering or lack of nutrients. If there is new growth on your plant and the yellowing leaves are older, particularly at the bottom of the plant, this yellowing is natural. Your plant sheds its old leaves and sends energy to new growth.
Limp and drooping leaves suggests under watering or the plant has become pot-bound.
