Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Monstera thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window, but out of the direct path of the sun, is perfect.
  It can tolerate lower light, but growth may be slower, and the leaves may not develop their characteristic splits and holes.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of the soil feel dry.
  Monstera is sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
  Water less frequently during the cooler winter months when the plant's growth slows.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Monstera appreciates higher humidity levels, mimicking its tropical habitat.
  If you need to increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Monstera prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 18-27°C
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed every 2–4 weeks during the spring and summer (March to September) with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
  Reduce or stop fertilising during the winter months when growth slows.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Prune to control the plant's size and shape, and to encourage new, bushier growth.
  Aerial roots can be trimmed or tucked into the soil.
  Remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves and stems with clean, sharp tools.
