Monstera Adansonii
About Our Monstera Adansonii
Monstera Adansonii Bio
Native to Southern Mexico and Central America, Monstera adansonii is loved for its bright and deep green, heart-shaped foliage. Its famously perforated leaves, known as fenestrations, are a unique adaptation that allows sunlight to pass through the broad canopy and reach the forest floor. These distinctive patterns are genetically determined as each leaf emerges and become larger and more pronounced over time as the leaves mature.
Light Instructions
Monstera Adansonii grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun's rays are diffused, and can also adapt to spaces with bright direct light, where sunlight shines directly indoors. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or in areas without natural sunlight.

During your Monstera Adansonii's first few days at home, it may lose one or two leaves as it settles into its new environment. This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Simply remove the affected leaf and look forward to healthy new growth. To encourage even, healthy growth, dust the leaves occasionally and rotate the pot by a quarter turn once a month. To maintain its preferred shape and height, you can prune it periodically as desired. If you'd like it to grow upwards rather than trail, secure the stems to a totem or moss pole and watch it climb.
