Care
Water this gorgeous Monstera once a week. We recommend watering from the base for these larger indoor house plants, allow to soak for 10 minutes in a sink with cool water, If the soil looks damp, let it dry out a little before adding more water. Feed with a generic houseplant feed every couple of months however this shouldn’t be needed for the first 3-6 months. The Monstera likes sunshine but not too hot!
The leaves are a beautiful glossy dark green heart shape – keep them shiny with a quick wipe of a damp cloth once a month.
