Know before you buy
The iconic fenestrations, or oblong cutouts, develop as the plant matures. Depending on the age of your specific plant, it may arrive with solid leaves or a few early-stage cutouts, which will become more pronounced as the plant grows in your home.
Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about 1 to 2 inches deep. If the soil feels dry at that depth, it is time to water; if it still feels damp, wait a few more days to avoid overwatering.
No, the Monstera Deliciosa is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place this plant in a location that is inaccessible to your animals, such as on a high shelf or in a room they do not frequent.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain or a few feet away from a sunny window is ideal, as direct, harsh sun can scorch the leaves.
The plant arrives in a standard plastic grow pot. You have the option to add a decorative pot to your order, or you can easily slip the grow pot into a decorative cachepot of your choosing.
