This midcentury-modern decorating staple is once again one of the most popular houseplants in the world. The high ceilings and open-concept floor plans popular today have brought this large plant back into the spotlight, helped by its large architectural presence and ease of care. The huge perforated, lobed leaves are unique and are thought to have holes in them to combat the strong winds and large amounts of rain they can be exposed to in their native environment, high in the trees of the rainforest. They send out aerial roots to gather more moisture and to stabilize themselves—do not allow them to attach themselves to your wood floors or other surfaces, as they will leave marks when pulled away.
Light
Monstera can tolerate low light but prefers medium to bright light. In its native habitat, it starts life on the jungle floor and scrambles along until it finds a tree to cling to, then climbs to the top for light.
Water
Keep this plant evenly moist, letting it get quite dry before watering again.
Size
This plant can get large and will need a lot of room to grow. Growing it on a moss pole is best so it has something to cling to, and it may reach 10 or more feet tall.
Propagation
Plant stem-tip cuttings in moist potting medium, or root them in water. The plant can also be air-layered.
Cultivars
- Monstera deliciosa ‘Variegata’ – A variegated form that has splotches of light green and white on the dark-green leaves.
Pet Safety
Toxic to pets.
