Monstera deliciosa P35

Positioning & Light Requirements

• Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a striking indoor foliage plant admired for its large, glossy, split leaves.

• Place in bright, indirect light for best growth. A position near an east- or west-facing window is ideal.

• Avoid direct midday sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and cause brown patches.

• Tolerates moderate light conditions, but slower growth and smaller leaves may occur in lower light.

• Rotate the plant every few weeks to encourage even growth and prevent leaning towards the light source.

• Keep away from cold draughts, radiators, and sudden temperature changes.

• Ideal room temperature is between 18–27°C.

• Avoid temperatures below 10–12°C, as this can cause leaf damage.

Monstera deliciosa naturally grows as a climbing plant in tropical forests. Providing a moss pole or support will encourage larger leaves and more dramatic natural splits as the plant matures.

Watering, Humidity & Feeding

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of compost feels dry to the touch.

• Ensure the pot has drainage holes, as Monstera does not tolerate sitting in water.

• Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away completely.

• Reduce watering during autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.

• Overwatering can lead to yellowing leaves and root rot.

• Underwatering may cause drooping or curling leaves.

• Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to normal indoor conditions.

• Increase humidity by misting occasionally or placing the pot on a tray of pebbles and water.

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser.

• Do not feed during the winter rest period.

Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their natural shine. Clean leaves allow the plant to photosynthesise more efficiently.

Repotting, Pruning & General Care

• Repot every 1–2 years in spring when roots begin to outgrow the container.

• Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to prevent excess compost retaining too much moisture.

• Use a free-draining, peat-free houseplant compost.

• Support aerial roots by guiding them into the compost or attaching them to a moss pole.

• Prune back leggy growth in spring to maintain a balanced shape.

• Remove any yellow or damaged leaves at the base using clean, sharp secateurs.

• Monstera can be propagated from stem cuttings that include at least one node and aerial root.

• Monitor for common houseplant pests such as spider mites, scale insects, or mealybugs.

• Keep foliage clean and inspect regularly to catch issues early.

With the right balance of light, water, and occasional feeding, Monstera deliciosa is an easy-care indoor plant that makes a bold, architectural statement in homes, offices, and interior spaces
