About this plant
Our monsteras come from a peat-free grower in the Netherlands and spend a few weeks in the shop before they go anywhere, so they arrive used to British light rather than greenhouse conditions.
Each plant is staked to a coir moss pole. As it matures the new leaves come in larger and with more splits, especially if it gets plenty of bright, indirect light.
Care tips
- Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they can take in light.
- Tuck the aerial roots back into the pole or the compost rather than cutting them.
- Feed monthly from April to September with a half-strength liquid feed.
