🌿 Monstera minima Care Guide

With its glossy, fenestrated leaves and vining growth, it brings that lush, jungle aesthetic in a more compact, manageable form.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to encourage lush growth and leaf splits

• Can tolerate medium light but will grow slower and with smaller leaves

• Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves

💧 Water

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry

• Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy

• Loves a well-draining mix — aroid blends with bark and perlite work best

🌫️ Humidity

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

• Adapts well to most indoor conditions but appreciates a light misting

🍽️ Feeding

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

• Pause feeding during autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Give it a moss pole or trellis to climb — it’ll reward you with bigger, split leaves

• Trim long vines to shape and encourage fullness

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