Growing Tips

Monstera Adansonii is a fast-growing vining plant that can trail beautifully from hanging planters or climb dramatically when given a moss pole or trellis. The iconic fenestrations (holes) develop as the plant matures. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and maximize their air-purifying benefits. This adaptable easy-care plant tolerates occasional missed waterings and lower light, making it perfect for busy plant parents.
