Place your Monstera in a bright, indirect light spot. While it can tolerate low light, it thrives best with a few hours of indirect sunlight

Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot

They thrive in humid environments. Keep humidity levels high by misting the leaves, using a humidity tray

Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Position it near a window with filtered light or use sheer curtains to diffuse the light

Feed it with a balanced liquid fertiliser every month during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth

Prune the Monstera regularly to control its size and encourage bushier growth. Trim any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain its shape

Monstera is a climbing plant, so provide a support structure like a moss pole or trellis to allow its vines to grow upward

Monstera plants grow quickly and may outgrow their pots. Repot every 1-2 years to give the roots more space

Inspect your plant regularly for pests like spider mites or aphids. If you find any, treat with insecticidal soap, or wipe the leaves
