Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Monsteras thrive in filtered light, but variegated varieties require brighter indirect light conditions to maintain their variegation. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves, especially the lighter variegated areas.

Water: Allow the top few cm of medium to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring the pot drains well. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18–26°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and extreme heat, as both can stress the plant and affect its growth.

Humidity: Thrives in humidity levels above 60%. Higher humidity is especially beneficial for variegated Monsteras to encourage lush, vibrant growth and larger leaves.

Medium: Use a chunky aroid mix with excellent drainage. Incorporate materials like orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss. See our Ultimate Premium Aroid Mix Recipe for detailed instructions.

Fertiliser: Feed regularly during spring and summer with Growth Technology Foliage Focus. Reduce feeding frequency during the cooler months.
