Know before you buy
While it can trail, this plant is a natural climber. Providing a moss pole encourages larger, more mature leaf development and helps the plant maintain its iconic fenestrated shape.
To keep the yellow and green marbling vibrant, place your plant in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the variegation to fade.
No, the Monstera Adansonii Aurea is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious animals.
This plant thrives in high humidity, which mimics its native tropical environment. You can maintain ideal levels by using a humidifier, grouping it with other plants, or placing it in a well-lit bathroom.
Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It prefers a moderate watering schedule, so ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent the roots from sitting in excess water.
