How to cultivate the aerial roots of Monstera

1. Do not expose it to irritating sunlight for a long time, because it is a typical shade-loving plant. Especially in the hot summer, it is better to block about 50% of the light. Just keep it in sunlight for 3 to 4 hours a day to make its leaves bright green.

2. Spray water around it more often, because this plant grows in a high temperature and high humidity environment. If there is insufficient water, its leaves will wilt and droop and lose their luster. Normally, it needs to be watered every two days in spring and autumn.

3. During the peak growth period, you should add some fertilizer. The concentration should not be too high. You can use the method of using light fertilizer multiple times. When using, you can water or spray it, but be sure not to let the fertilizer contaminate the surface of its leaves. Moreover, it is forbidden to use uncomposted fertilizers or fertilizers with high density. The more suitable fertilizer is usually compound fertilizer. During the growth period, it only needs to be applied once every 30 days.

4. It is best to use fluffy and breathable soil. Before planting, you can add some stones or expanded clay into the pot to increase the breathing space of the roots. This will help the roots grow after a period of maintenance.
