Whether styled in minimalist ceramics or woven baskets, Monstera brings instant depth and greenery to weddings, corporate spaces, and curated interiors.

 Light
•     Thrives in bright, indirect light.
•     Tolerates medium light, but fenestrations may be limited.
•     Avoid harsh direct sun—can scorch leaves.
 Temperature
•     Ideal range: 18–30°C.
•     Keep away from cold drafts; not frost-tolerant.
Watering
•     Water every 1–2 weeks, allowing topsoil to dry between drinks.
•     Adjust frequency based on light and season.
•     Use filtered or rested water for best results.

Humidity
•     Prefers moderate to high humidity.
•     Mist regularly or use pebble trays/humidifiers.
•     Great for bathrooms or grouped plant displays.
Soil & Potting
•     Use well-draining mix—peat, perlite, and bark work well.
•     Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and support growth.
•     Add a moss pole or trellis to encourage vertical climbing.
 Pruning & Styling
•     Trim yellow or damaged leaves at the base.
•     Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance shine.
•     Style as a floor-standing centrepiece or in layered installations

 Propagation
•     Easily propagated via stem cuttings in water or soil.
•     Choose nodes with aerial roots for faster rooting.
 Pests & Problems
•     Watch for spider mites, scale, and mealybugs.
•     Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
•     Yellowing leaves = possible overwatering or low light.
•     Crispy edges = low humidity or salt buildup.
