General Info
The theory is that the monstera, native
to the Central American rainforest, developed holes in its leaves to
withstand winds and allow water and sunlight to peek through in the
dense forest
A Monstera leaf can't create any extra holes during de lifespan of the
leaf. All gaps already exist when the plant first produces the foliage
Watering
The plant will appreciate drying out slightly between waterings, and then to be watered thoroughly to saturate the soil and roots
When watering, ensure you are allowing the soil to be thoroughly soaked in order to let all roots be saturated
They are highly susceptible to root rot, so planting in a high draining soil is essential
Light Requirements
Providing your tree with a spot where it is exposed to some direct light will be the best
Make sure to avoid exposed to direct afternoon sun, as it can easily burn the foliage
A semi shaded spot will provide ideal light for your Monstera
