Light Requirements
Low to bright, dappled indirect light
Your Monstera Deliciosa can live in low to bright, dappled indirect light. Prolonged exposure to bright direct sunlight may burn and scorch their leaves. Growth will be slower in low light environments.

Watering Schedule
Weekly waterings
Your Monstera Deliciosa enjoys weekly waterings. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, especially during the winter - when you might only need to water your plant fortnightly.

Humidity
High humidity
Monstera Deliciosa enjoys a humid environment, which is why we recommend frequent misting of its leaves. Alternatively, you can place your plant close to other plants, which increases the humidity of the air around them.

Swiss Cheese, Hurricane Plant, Fruit Salad Plant, Monstera
Monsteras originate from the tropical rainforests of southern Mexico and are a species of evergreen tropical vine that is a part of Araceae, the aroid family. Monsteras grow from the forest floor and vine up trees to absorb more light. They have holes in their leaves so they can increase their surface area and catch more sun-flecks. This wild, tropical plant is better known as the ""swiss cheese plant"" because of these holes. Depending on the maturity of the plant and seasonality, your Monstera could have no holes yet, and as it grows you will see these develop.
