Monstera deliciosa is loved for its large, glossy leaves and iconic natural “split” patterns, bringing a lush, tropical feel to any space. It thrives in bright, indirect light and should be watered when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, ensuring the soil never stays soggy. Keep it in warm temperatures (60–75°F) with higher humidity for the fullest, most dramatic leaf development. A moss pole or trellis will help it climb and produce larger, more fenestrated leaves over time. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer to support growth, and wipe leaves occasionally to keep them clean and vibrant. This plant is toxic if ingested, so keep out of reach of pets and children.
