Monstera is a beautiful foliage plant. Its leaves are evergreen all year round, and the shape of the leaves is quite unique. There are a lot of tortoise-shell-like cracks on the surface of the leaves, which is why it got its name. This plant can not only be used for viewing, but also purify the air and beautify the environment. Usually people like to make it into a potted plant and grow it at home, but they don’t know much about its cultivation method. What should be paid attention to when growing Monstera? Today, the editor will give you a detailed introduction.

How to grow Monstera

1. Soil

When growing Monstera, you must use a flower pot with good air permeability. Its root system is relatively well developed, so it is best to choose a deep flower pot with a depth of more than 30 cm. The soil for growing Monstera can be fertile pond mud or black mountain mud. After watering the soil, you can directly insert the bamboo sticks into the soil.

2. Growth environment

I like plants that grow in shady environments, so I usually put it in an environment with sufficient diffuse light. But after entering summer, I should put the Monstera in a cool place indoors or build a special shade shed for it. If the Monstera absorbs too much strong light, its leaves will turn yellow and its ornamental value will decrease.

Things to note when growing Monstera

1. Change the pot in time

Monstera is a plant that grows particularly fast. During the cultivation period, you must pay attention to changing the pot in time. Only in this way can you provide sufficient space for the growth of Monstera. During the cultivation period, it is best to ensure that the pot is changed once a year. The time for changing the pot can be chosen between March and April each year. When changing the pot, you must also remove the dust and dead roots in the pot, and then replace it with a larger pot and new potting soil.

2. Pay attention to maintaining humidity

When cultivating Monstera, you should also pay attention to maintaining humidity, because this plant likes a humid environment. During its growth period, you should not only water it in time, but also ensure that its cultivation environment is moist. Under normal circumstances, water it every 3 to 5 days. After entering summer, spray water on its leaves twice a day in the morning and evening. Only in this way can the leaves remain bright and its ornamental value can be improved.
