Does Monstera like moisture or dryness? What are the maintenance factors of Monstera?

1. Do you like wetness or dryness?

Monstera is native to tropical rainforest areas. Its native environment is high temperature and high humidity, so Monstera likes moisture during its growth. During maintenance, try to maintain a high humidity environment to create such a maintenance environment. If you don't water the plant for a long time, the soil in the pot will become dry and the roots will not be able to absorb water. There will not be enough water to supply growth. In the long run, the leaves will turn yellow and lack water, affecting normal growth.

During the maintenance process, in order to ensure sufficient water, attention should be paid to timely watering. The climatic environment is different in different seasons, so the watering frequency is different. Watering is needed according to seasonal changes. In spring and autumn, water can be watered about 3 days, in summer, once a day, or twice a day. In winter, water evaporates slowly, so water can be watered every 5-7 days.

2. Other maintenance factors

1. Diffused light: Monstera should avoid direct sunlight and prefers to grow in diffuse light. It should be kept in a well-lit place and exposed to sufficient diffuse light during the growth period. In the summer, it should be moved to a place where direct light cannot reach it, and in the winter it can be placed in a bright place.

2. Suitable temperature: It is suitable for growth in a warm climate, which should be maintained at around 15-25 degrees Celsius. It is not cold-resistant in winter, so you must pay attention to keeping warm.

3. Reasonable fertilization: Monstera is a flower that likes fertilizer. It can be fertilized every half a month during the vigorous growth period.
