Monstera Obliqua Care Sheet

Common Name: Monstera Obliqua
Scientific Name: Monstera obliqua

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. Low light can slow its growth and affect the leaf perforations.

Water:
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly, use a humidity tray, or place near a humidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels.

Temperature:
Ideal temperature range is 18–29°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.

Soil:
Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, ideally with added perlite or orchid bark to enhance drainage and aeration.

Fertilizer:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the winter months.

Pruning:
Trim any leggy growth or damaged leaves as needed to maintain shape. Cut just above a node to encourage new growth.

Toxicity:
Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
