Know before you buy
The iconic fenestrations, or splits, develop as the plant matures and receives adequate light. Place your plant in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight to encourage these dramatic patterns to appear on new growth.
No, the Monstera Deliciosa is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
Water your plant when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Because it prefers moderate moisture, avoid letting the soil dry out completely or sit in standing water.
As a statement piece, the Monstera Deliciosa can grow several feet in both height and spread. Be sure to provide enough floor space for the plant to expand as it matures.
