All about
The Monstera dossier
Monstera deliciosa
The Monstera deliciosa grows naturally in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it climbs tree trunks with its aerial roots in search of light. The famous holes and splits in the leaves (called fenestration) let wind and light through to the lower foliage.
Large specimens keep that climbing character: a moss pole or support keeps the plant upright and encourages bigger leaves with more holes.

Placement and light
The Monstera prefers a bright spot without direct midday sun. Harsh direct sunlight scorches the leaves, while too little light produces small leaves without holes. A spot near an east or north facing window is ideal, or two to three metres from a south facing window.
Rotate the plant a quarter turn every few weeks so it grows evenly. Keep the temperature above 15 degrees and avoid draughts and a spot directly above a radiator.
Water and feeding
Water about once a week in spring and summer, and once every ten to fourteen days in autumn and winter. Feel first: the top three to five centimetres of soil should be dry before you water again. Slightly too dry is better than too wet, as root rot from overwatering is problem number one.
Feed with green plant fertiliser every two weeks from March to September. The Monstera appreciates somewhat higher humidity; misting is fine but usually not necessary.
Is something wrong with your Monstera?
Yellow leaves usually point to overwatering or poorly draining soil. Brown edges or tips indicate dry air or underwatering. New leaves without holes almost always mean too little light. In dry air spider mites can appear, recognisable by fine webbing on the underside of the leaves.
Repot a Monstera every two to three years, preferably in spring. Choose a pot with a diameter about twenty percent larger than the current nursery pot and use airy, well draining potting soil. Large specimens are top heavy: a sturdy, slightly taller decorative pot keeps the plant stable. You will find the matching pots right on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The Monstera contains calcium oxalate, which makes it mildly toxic to cats and dogs. Chewing on the leaves causes irritation of the mouth and stomach. Serious poisoning is rare, but with nibbling pets it is better to keep the plant out of reach or choose a pet friendly alternative.
With enough light the Monstera is a fast grower that can add dozens of centimetres per year. Each new leaf grows larger and develops more splits than the last. Our XXL specimens are already years old and give your interior an instant mature jungle look, without years of waiting.
This Monstera adansonii is 60 cm tall, measured including nursery pot, and comes in a pot of ø17 cm. With a support, it will climb further upwards over a few years.
What is the difference between Monstera adansonii and Monstera deliciosa?
Monstera adansonii has smaller, oval leaves with round holes in the leaf. Deliciosa develops much larger leaves with splits from the edge.
How often should you water a Monstera monkey?
Let the top layer of soil dry out, then water it, usually once a week in summer and less in winter. Soil that is too wet causes yellow leaves and root rot.
Where should you place a Monstera adansonii?
In a bright spot without harsh midday sun. It also grows in partial shade, but then the new leaves will develop fewer holes.
Is a Monstera monkey toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, all Monstera species are toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves contain calcium oxalate, which irritates the mouth and stomach.
