How to judge the appropriate watering time for Monstera

Monstera is a plant with a very developed root system and has very high requirements for water. It needs to be watered in time after the soil is completely dry so that the leaves can grow quickly and in large numbers.

Monstera watering time

Depending on the dryness and wetness of the soil, you can judge whether the Monstera needs watering. When you find that the soil surface is relatively dry, it needs watering.

Adult Monstera has a relatively high demand for water and generally needs to be watered once every 1-2 days. It is also necessary to spray water around the plant to promote leaf growth.

How to water Monstera

1. Better dry than wet

The leaves of Monstera are very large and water evaporates quickly, so when watering, you need to follow the principle of "better wet than dry". It is best to keep the soil in the pot moist at all times.

2. Spray water frequently

When the weather is hot, you should also spray water on the surface of the Monstera leaves frequently to keep the air moist. It needs to be sprayed about 3-5 times a day. Be sure not to allow water to accumulate. If there is too much water, it will cause root rot of the plant.

3. Two more and two less

Water more in the dry season and less in the winter; water more for vigorously growing Monstera plants and less for newly planted ones.
