Monstera is an extremely beautiful indoor flower with large, unusual leaves. In the article we will talk about the features of caring for the growth.

Where should the monstera be

Many consider the monster a plant that easily tolerates shading, but in order to bring the conditions of keeping the monster in the room closer to what they have in their homeland, it is better to give them enough light, place them near the windows (except for the south, although near the windows facing north , she may not have enough light).

Priming

The soil should be loose, light, but fertile, as for violets, for example. The composition can be approximately as follows: two parts of soddy land and one part of peat, perlite (or coarse sand), humus (or leafy soil). Experts suggest adding sphagnum, bark and charcoal to the substrate.

Humidity and watering

If you want the monstera to become larger and more voluminous, you should always remember about watering and moisten the soil in a timely manner. We recommend watering as the top layer of the earth dries out, about 1-2 times a week. Small plants can be watered 2-3 times a week, large plants 1-2.

Young people do not need feeding. Adult plants must be fertilized during the period of growth and development (from March to September) 1 time in 2-3 weeks.
