☀️ Monstera Care Guide

• Water: Water when the upper portion of the growing medium begins to dry. Avoid leaving the roots sitting in water.

• Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity can support healthy foliage.

• Temperature: Keep in a warm indoor environment and protect from cold drafts.

• Support: A moss pole, stake, or trellis can help support its climbing growth as it matures.

• Feeding: During active growth, use a balanced houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions.

🌿 What to Expect

Young Monstera plants may initially have small, solid green leaves. The familiar leaf splits and holes typically develop as the plant matures under suitable growing conditions; they are not guaranteed on a starter plant.

Growth and leaf size depend on light, temperature, watering, nutrition, and support. This listing does not guarantee a particular growth rate or mature leaf appearance.

📦 Before You Order

Please review the plant measurements and shipping details carefully. The listed 3-inch size may refer to the plant, a plug, or its growing container, so confirm the exact measurement and whether a pot is included before purchase.

Plant safety: Monstera deliciosa contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause irritation if chewed or ingested. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Photos of mature Monstera plants should be treated as examples of potential growth, not a guarantee of the exact size or leaf shape of the starter plant shipped.
