Monstera Bio
Native to Southern Mexico and Central America, Monstera Deliciosa displays breathtakingly large foliage that earn it the name after the Latin word for ‘monstrous’. Its famously perforated leaves, called fenestrations, are a unique adaptation that lets sunlight pass through its broad canopy and reach the forest floor. Their unique patterns are genetically predetermined when the leaf sprouts, and with time become larger and more common, while the leaves get larger and darker.
Light Instructions
Monstera Deliciosa grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused, and can also adapt to spaces with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

Monstera Care
On your Monstera Deliciosa’ first few days at home, it may lose one or two leaves. This is no reason for concern. Simple cut the leaf, and look forward to new and better adjusted leaves to grow.
To help it grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month. To maintain its aesthetic shape and height, you may periodically prune it to your liking.
To grow it upwards instead of sideways, you may attach the leaves to a totem or moss pole and watch it grow tall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Monstera a good indoor plant?
An ideal indoor plant, your Monstera should enjoy a warm and humid environment and shouldn’t require many hours of direct sunlight. Monstera’s distinctive aesthetic is a matter of taste, but this plant has all the hallmarks of an excellent indoor specimen. It doesn’t react to low-light conditions by growing to be lanky, and it can be kept small or grown large to better suit its environment.
What is the difference between Monstera deliciosa and Monstera adansonii plants?
Both variants of Monstera are known by similar names, but there are some key differences when comparing Monstera Deliciosa vs Monstera Adansonii. First and foremost, deliciosa tends to sprawl outward as it attempts to vine, while the adansonii prefers to trail. That makes the former ideal for decorative climbing of walls and poles, and the latter well-suited to hanging baskets. Adansonii’s leaves are almost half the size. It has smaller and more numerous decorative holes that are closed in around their perimeter. By contrast, deliciosa has larger and fewer leaf holes.
