The plant introduced below is Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant). It is an excellent potted green plant for purifying the air, able to adapt well to shaded indoor environments, growing well in cool spots, and it can also raise indoor oxygen levels - excellent for indoor air quality.

Monstera deliciosa also has a great decorative effect. In modern home styling, keeping one or two pots of Monstera deliciosa indoors makes the whole space fresher and more beautiful, and just looking at it soothes the mood, which also helps somewhat in relieving the stress of daily life.

Many people say the one above is not Monstera deliciosa. Actually it is Monstera obliqua, also called the windowleaf Monstera. Monstera deliciosa has many varieties, and the other common varieties we see have relatively large leaves. The care methods for these Monsteras are all the same. This Monstera obliqua has smaller leaves with many holes in them, making it suitable for growing as a small potted plant.

Monstera deliciosa is actually a very easy plant to keep alive. It likes a warm and humid environment year-round and can grow well in cool places; its demand for light is not high.

But Monstera deliciosa likes relatively high air humidity. If the air is dry, the leaves easily turn yellow. When kept at home, avoid direct sun exposure, and keep the minimum care temperature above 7 degrees, otherwise it is prone to cold damage.

Monstera deliciosa has a certain climbing effect, meaning it can climb as it grows. As it keeps growing, aerial roots will grow on the stems, so a support frame needs to be set up for it to climb on.

For the soil used to grow Monstera deliciosa, be sure to choose loose soil with good drainage. During the care period, water thoroughly once the potting soil has dried out.

In summer when temperatures are higher, the soil can be kept moist, but avoid waterlogging, otherwise the roots easily rot.

Caring for Monstera deliciosa does not require frequent fertilizing. If the soil is relatively fertile, even less fertilizing is needed. But if you want Monstera deliciosa to grow more vigorously, in spring, summer and autumn you can give dilute fertilizer water 2 to 3 times each month, preferably organic fertilizer water.

After that, pay attention to regularly cleaning the leaves to avoid too much dust building up, and its leaves will grow very emerald green. Master the tips above and you can grow Monstera deliciosa well.
