Monstera Deliciosa
Monstera deliciosa
The one everybody wants, and — unusually — one that earns it. A monstera forgives a missed week, says plainly when it is thirsty, and starts splitting new leaves once it trusts your light. Ours leave the greenhouse with four to six leaves already fenestrated, not a plain-leaf juvenile that takes two years to look like the photograph.

Care specification
What this plant needs from you
The same four numbers printed on the label in the box. If your room cannot meet the light line, buy the pothos instead — we would rather you kept it alive.
Light
Bright indirect — a few feet back from an east or south window. It tolerates medium light, but stops splitting new leaves.
Bright indirect
Water
Roughly weekly. Finger in to the second knuckle: water only when the top two inches are dry, then soak it through.
Every 7–9 days
Humidity
Content at normal room humidity, happier above 50%. Brown crisp edges mean dry air rather than thirst.
40–60% RH
Pets
Not pet-safe. Calcium oxalate in the leaves irritates mouths — shelf it if your cat chews foliage.
Not pet-safe
| Specification | This plant | What it means for you |

| Mature size indoors | 6–8 ft tall, 3 ft wide | Give it floor space by year three, or prune the aerial roots back. |

| Soil | Chunky, peat-free | Our house blend — coir, bark fines and pumice. Repot every two years. |

| Temperature | 65–85°F | Keep it off cold glass, and away from a radiator or a draughty door. |

Moisture stick
Reads the root zone rather than the surface — which is exactly where most people misjudge a monstera.
