3" Monstera Swiss Cheese

Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a popular and relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant. Here are some simple care tips:

1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not grow as vigorously.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Monstera prefers moderately moist soil but can tolerate occasional drying out. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

3. Humidity: Prefers higher humidity levels, but can adapt to average indoor humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a humidity tray to increase humidity around the plant.

4. Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with organic matter. Aroid mix or a mix for tropical plants works well.

6. Fertlizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows down.

7. Support: As the plant grows, it may benefit from a moss pole or trellis to support its climbing habit.

8. Pruning: Trim any yellow or dead leaves. Pruning can also help shape the plant and encourage new growth.

9. Propagation: Monstera can be propagated through stem cuttings placed in water or directly in soil. Look for nodes (bumps on the stem where leaves grow) when taking cuttings.

By following these tips, you can keep your Monstera Swiss Cheese Plant healthy and thriving in your indoor space!
