How do I care for a Monstera Monkey Leaf?
The Monstera Monkey Leaf requires little care and is a easy houseplant. To maintain the vibrant green color, place the plant in normal daylight but avoid direct sunlight.
Watering the Monstera Monkey Leaf
This plant does not need much water, but the soil should always be kept slightly moist. Check this carefully, as too much water can be fatal to this plant. Excess water can accumulate at the roots, leading to root rot. If you have repotted the plant, it is advisable to use a water meter or moisture meter to use. A Monstera Monkey Leaf that has received too much water can be recognized by brown spots with a yellow edge on the leaves.
Choosing the right pitch
The Monstera Monkey Leaf thrives in a spot with normal daylight. However, direct sunlight can be harmful to the plant, as it can burn the leaves. The ideal location for this plant is in daylight with occasional shade, making it a perfect choice for brightening up a duller corner of your home!
Feeding the Monstera Monkey Leaf
In the spring and summer months, you can give the Monstera Monkey Leaf extra nutrients. Normal houseplant food is a good choice for this purpose. During the winter months, this is not necessary because the plant is then in a dormant period. During this time, administering nutrition may even be harmful.
Cutting and pruning the Monstera Monkey Leaf
You can prune the Monstera Monkey Leaf when a leaf has become old and unattractive, or when the plant grows out of proportion. When its characteristic hole leaves grow into a real jungle, you can cut off the tendrils as desired. The plant will then just keep growing and developing. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to do this.
If you like, you can also take cuttings from the Monstera to create new plants. Select a healthy side branch with an aerial root and cut it off just below a node. Then place the cutting in water or directly in moist potting soil. Keep the cutting warm and moist and wait for new roots and leaves to appear before repotting.
