Key Features & Care:




  • Light / Position: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.


  • Water / Feed: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as Monstera Adansonii prefers slightly drier soil between waterings. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.


  • Temperature / Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F). It enjoys moderate to high humidity, so misting or a humidity tray will help it flourish, especially in drier indoor environments.

  • Air purifying: Known for its air-purifying properties, it helps remove toxins and improve indoor air quality.


  • Growth / Spread: Monstera Adansonii is a fast-growing vine that can trail or climb, reaching lengths of up to 3 meters (10 feet) with proper support. It can spread around 30 cm (1 foot) wide.


  • Geographic Origins: Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, Monstera Adansonii thrives in warm, humid conditions.
