monstera is a tropical plant from the Araceae family. its name, as one might guess, comes from the Latin meaning “abnormal” because of its odd-looking, perforated leaves that are often punched through with holes.

great for indoors and can be grown in pots with soil or hydroponically, monstera always look lush and can add a tropical vibe to any space.

find a balance between sun and shade. if monstera is given too much sun, the leaves will yellow. if it’s left in the dark, the plant will exhibit something called negative phototropism, where new leaves grow towards the dark, rather than the light. (it’s a pretty clever trick: in the jungle, darkness signals the presence of a larger tree that monstera can climb up to reach sunlight.) since this isn’t possible in a living room, indirect sun is best.

water monstera moderately and evenly, about once a week. wait until the soil is fairly dry before watering again. keep in a fairly humid environment.

to curb excessive growth, avoid re-potting too often and prune regularly by pinching off new growth.
