🌿 Monstera Adansonii ‘Monkey Leaf’ Care Guide

The Monstera adansonii ‘Monkey Leaf’ is a jungle favourite — with quirky, holey leaves that look like they’ve been nibbled by a curious monkey (hence the name!). Fast-growing, easy-going, and full of personality, it’s a perfect plant for both beginners and collectors who love that wild tropical vibe.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light for lush, full growth

• Can tolerate medium light, but leaves may grow smaller with fewer holes

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can burn delicate foliage

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top 2–3 cm to dry between waterings

• Use a well-draining mix (bark, perlite, coco coir) to keep roots healthy

• Avoid overwatering — this plant loves balance, not soggy soil

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers medium to high humidity (50–70%)

• Adapts well indoors but appreciates occasional misting or a nearby humidifier

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Perfect for climbing or trailing — give it a moss pole or let it cascade freely

• Prune long vines to encourage bushier growth

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats and dogs
