Monstera Deliciosa

Identification

The Monstera Deliciosa is famous for its large, glossy green leaves that develop deep splits and holes (fenestrations) as the plant matures. Native to the tropical forests of southern Mexico, it has become one of the most popular houseplants worldwide.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct, harsh sun which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity but adapts well to normal household conditions.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with perlite and orchid bark.

Common Issues

Yellowing Leaves: Usually a sign of overwatering. Ensure proper drainage.
No Splits in Leaves: The plant may not be receiving enough light, or it might just be too young.
