What are Monsteras?
Monsteras, also known as the Swiss cheese plant or split-leaf philodendron, are a type of tropical plant native to Central and South America. They are known for their large, perforated leaves that resemble Swiss cheese, which is where the common name comes from. The split-leaf philodendron is a common name for Monstera deliciosa, one of the most popular and widely cultivated species of the Monstera plant. Monsteras are often grown as houseplants and are relatively easy to care for, making them a popular choice for indoor gardens.

Monstera Care Tips
Monstera plants are a popular tropical houseplant that can be easy to care for if you follow a few basic guidelines. Here's a comprehensive care guide for your Monstera plant:
Monstera
Monstera plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the leaves. Place your Monstera near a window with filtered light or under a grow light to ensure it gets enough light.
Monstera plants like to be kept moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering, and make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. Water your Monstera thoroughly and let the excess water drain away.
Monstera
Monstera plants prefer warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid exposing them to cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (16°C).
Monstera plants prefer high humidity, but they can tolerate lower levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves, placing a humidifier nearby, or grouping plants together. A pebble tray filled with water can also help to raise the humidity around your plant.
Monstera
Monstera plants benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two to four weeks. Dilute the fertilizer to half strength to avoid burning the plant.
Monstera plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite can provide good drainage and nutrient retention. Avoid using heavy soil mixes that retain too much moisture.
