🌿 Monstera adansonii – Care Tips

Monstera adansonii is a striking tropical vine known for its oval-shaped holes (fenestrations) that run through its deep green leaves, giving it a lacy, airy look. Compared to Monstera deliciosa, it’s smaller, faster-growing, and more trailing—perfect for hanging pots or climbing poles.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect sunlight

• Will tolerate medium light, but holes may reduce

• Avoid direct sun—can cause leaf burn

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry

• Keep slightly moist but not soggy

• Decrease frequency in cooler months

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temp: 18–28°C (65–82°F)

• Loves high humidity – mist regularly or use a humidifier

• Keep away from air conditioners or cold drafts

🌱 Soil & Pot

• Use a light, well-draining mix (peat + perlite or aroid mix)

• Ensure the pot has good drainage holes

• Likes to trail or climb – add a moss pole, trellis, or let it hang

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in growing season (spring/summer)

• Use a diluted liquid fertilizer or one formulated for foliage plants

✂️ Pruning & Propagation

• Prune to control shape and encourage bushiness

• Propagates easily via stem cuttings with nodes

• Root cuttings in water or moist soil

🐾 Pet Safety

• Toxic to pets if ingested – causes irritation
