How to grow Monstera and what are the taboos in placing Monstera

Monstera is an evergreen shrub. It is called Monstera because its leaves are very similar to the thousand-year-old tortoise's back. The leaves of Monstera are very peculiar in shape and very shiny, which is of great ornamental value. Many families like to raise Monstera, but from the perspective of Feng Shui, some places are not suitable for placing Monstera.

How to grow Monstera

1. To cultivate Monstera, we can use leaf mold, compost and sand in a ratio of 3:3:4 to make potting soil. Monstera grows very fast. Basically, you need to change the pot once a year to prepare a wide growth space for the plant. Generally, it is best to change the pot in March and October. After removing the old soil and withered roots, place it in a larger pot for cultivation.

2. When raising Monstera, be careful to avoid direct sunlight, because if the sunlight is too strong, it may burn the leaves. Therefore, in the summer, pay attention to shade the Monstera, especially the newly sown seedlings and the newly cut plants. In the winter, you can put the Monstera in a sunny place in the room.

Taboos for placing Monstera

1. Bathroom

Monstera is an auspicious plant, because in the eyes of Chinese people, turtles represent longevity and good luck. However, Monstera cannot be placed in the bathroom at home. The evil energy in the bathroom is heavy. If placed in the bathroom, the Monstera cannot completely suppress the evil energy. Instead, it will be invaded and bring some bad luck to the family.

2. Opposite the main gate

It is taboo to place Monstera opposite the main door, because this place is facing the main door. Once the main door is opened, the wealth and luck gathered by Monstera will be blown away, which will dissipate the good luck and is not conducive to our wealth accumulation. Placing Monstera opposite the main door may bring bad events such as financial loss or separation of family members, so Monstera should not be placed in the place facing the main door.
