Know before you buy
The iconic fenestrations, or holes, are a sign of maturity. Younger leaves are typically solid, but as the plant grows and receives adequate bright, indirect light, it will begin to produce the signature perforated foliage.
The Monstera Deliciosa has a vining growth habit and can grow quite wide. While it arrives at 18-26 inches, you should plan for a spot that allows the plant room to spread out as it matures.
Yes, it is quite forgiving. Because it tolerates occasional missed waterings, it is a great choice for busy schedules or frequent travelers, provided it receives consistent light.
It prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its growth and leaf patterns. While it is adaptable to lower light conditions, it will grow more slowly and may produce fewer fenestrations in darker corners.
No, it comes pre-potted in premium soil designed to support its growth. You can keep it in its original pot until it outgrows the container, which typically takes a year or more depending on your care.
