☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation

• Can tolerate gentle morning sun but avoid intense midday rays

• Too little light may reduce variegation and slow growth

💧 Water

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

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

• Avoid overwatering — this Monstera prefers consistent but gentle hydration

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%) to support lush growth and vibrant foliage

• Mist occasionally or use a humidifier for best results

• Protect from cold drafts or very dry air

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted fertilizer

• Hold off in autumn and winter when growth slows

🌱 Quick Tips

• Provide a moss pole or support to encourage climbing and larger, more fenestrated leaves

• Wipe leaves gently to reveal their creamy-white marbling

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