Water
Water when the top inch is dry.
Pot and soil
Chunky, airy mix. Give it a pole to climb or let it trail from a high shelf.
Feeding
Liquid fertilizer monthly in spring and summer.
Grooming
Trim long vines and root the cuttings in water.
Through the year
Spring and summer: feed and keep moisture steady. Fall and winter: indoor heat dries the air, so humidity matters more; keep it off cold windowsills and away from vents.
If something's off
Small leaves with few holes mean it wants more light. Crispy edges mean dry air. Not for nibbling pets.
Plays well with
Plant it with friends.
The monstera that hangs.
Small leaves full of holes on a vine that trails or climbs. Hang it high and let it drop, or give it a pole and watch it go.
Why we stock it: All the look of a monstera, a fraction of the floor space.
