Know before you buy
This plant can grow up to 3 feet wide. Ensure you have a spot with enough clearance to accommodate its large, spreading leaves as it matures.
It means placing the plant in a spot that receives plenty of natural light, but not direct sun rays hitting the leaves. A few feet away from a south or west-facing window is usually ideal.
No, the Monstera deliciosa is toxic to pets and small children if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a room or on a surface that is inaccessible to them.
The plant prefers consistently moist soil, so you should water it moderately. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Yes, it prefers humid conditions. If your home is particularly dry, you can maintain its health by misting the leaves occasionally or placing it near a humidifier.
