Monstera Adasonii (Swiss Cheese Plant) 4” Pot

Care instructions for Monstera Adansonii:

1. Light: Monstera Adansonii prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window is ideal.

2. Temperature: This plant thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or drafts.

3. Watering: Water your Monstera Adansonii thoroughly when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it's important to let the soil dry out between waterings.

4. Humidity: Monstera Adansonii loves high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a water tray near the plant, using a humidifier, or misting the leaves regularly.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix for your Monstera Adansonii. Adding perlite or orchid bark can help improve drainage.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for the correct dosage.

7. Pruning: Prune your Monstera Adansonii to control its size and promote bushier growth. You can trim off any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back long stems to encourage branching.

8. Support: Monstera Adansonii is a vining plant that benefits from a support structure. You can provide a moss pole or trellis for it to climb and attach itself to.

9. Propagation: Monstera Adansonii can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or a well-draining potting mix until roots develop.

Remember that every plant is unique, so it's important to observe your Monstera Adansonii and adjust the care accordingly.
