Monstera adansonii

Plant Name: Monstera adansonii

Light Requirements:
Requires bright but indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can lead to leaf burn, so it's best to place it in a location with filtered sunlight or indirect light.

Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 29°C). Maintain a consistent temperature and provide high humidity levels, as it originates from tropical regions.

Medium:
Plant in a peat-based potting mix with a pH between 5.5 to 7. This provides good moisture retention while allowing for proper drainage.

Origin:
Monstera adansonii is native to Central and South America, where it grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees in its natural habitat.

Toxicity:
Considered toxic when ingested. Keep away from children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion, as it can cause discomfort and irritation.

Other:
Monstera adansonii can be trained to climb using a support structure or allowed to trail or hang, making it suitable for various indoor spaces. It may produce flowers under the right conditions, but flowering is rare indoors. Unlike some other Monstera species, Monstera adansonii cannot grow in water alone and requires soil for proper growth. Regular pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth.
