Key points for watering Monstera

1. There is no specific amount of water for Monstera. The general principle of watering is to water it thoroughly when the soil is dry. Water the soil thoroughly and do not always water half of the soil.

2. How often you water the Monstera depends on the season. Generally, it should be watered once every 2-3 days in early spring, and then you can water it every day as the temperature rises. In summer, the plant's water requirement increases, so water it once in the morning and evening depending on the actual situation. In autumn, you should reduce the frequency and water it once every 2-3 days. In winter, you don't need too much water, just water it when the plant is dry and wet.

3. It is better to water Monstera with rice water, because Monstera likes slightly acidic soil, and the pH value of rice water after fermentation is about 5.5, which is slightly acidic. In addition, the rich trace elements such as copper, iron, and magnesium in rice water are very beneficial to the growth of plants. Note that rice water should not be used too frequently, and it can be used once every half a month.
