Pro Tip
Regularly prune yellowing or older leaves to encourage new growth and help your plant maintain its distinctive shape and beautiful perforated foliage

Light and Placement
This plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Ideal placement includes rooms with filtered natural light, such as near an east-facing window or set slightly back from a south-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn its delicate leaves.

Watering and Care
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically once per week. Ensure the plant has good drainage, as Monstera Adansonii prefers evenly moist soil but is sensitive to overwatering. Regular misting once or twice weekly can help maintain humidity, encouraging healthy growth.
