Know before you buy
To encourage climbing, provide a moss pole or trellis for the vines to latch onto. As the plant grows, gently secure the stems to the support using soft plant ties to guide its upward habit.
No, the Monstera Adansonii is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your animals cannot access.
Bright, indirect light means the plant should be placed near a window where it receives plenty of natural light, but without the sun's rays directly hitting the leaves. A spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window is usually ideal.
Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch or two into the pot. If the soil feels dry to the touch, it is time to water; if it is still damp, wait a few more days to avoid overwatering.
The plant arrives in a standard 6-inch plastic nursery pot. You can easily slip this into a decorative planter of your choice to match your home's aesthetic.
