The Monstera Deliciosa is a flowering tropical plant that is native to Central America and Southern parts of Mexico.  

​

The monstera deliciosa can adapt to several lighting conditions, therefore making it a great plant for indoors.   While it can tolerate low light, it will grow faster in bright - moderate indirect light.   Young plants are more susceptible to harsh sunlight.  Older plants can tolerate direct sunlight much better.

​

This plant produces a corncob-shaped fruit that is very delicious and tropical tasting. All other parts of the plant are toxic and eating the fruit before it is ripe can cause some mouth irritation.  

​

Monsteras like water.  Make sure to water thoroughly every one to two weeks, keeping the soil slightly moist but not wet.  

​

Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting soil mix for this plant. Repot every 1-2 years. The monstera deliciosa can grow quite large, therefore it is important to place it in a spacious area. 

​

Fertilize your monstera once per month using a diluted liquid fertilizer. 

​

Toxic to pets and humans.  Only the ripe fruit is edible.
