Philodendron Monstera Split-Leaf Medium
Appearance: Monstera deliciosa is known for its large, glossy green leaves that develop distinctive splits and holes as they mature, giving them a unique, perforated appearance. Native Habitat: It's native to the tropical rainforests of southern Mexico down to Panama. Growth Habits: In its natural habitat, Monstera deliciosa grows as an epiphyte, meaning it grows on other plants (usually trees) but is not parasitic. It uses its aerial roots to attach to trees and absorb moisture. Light Requirements: Monstera prefers indirect, bright light. It can tolerate some shade, but its leaves might not develop as many splits or holes if kept in low light. Watering: It prefers the soil to be kept relatively moist but not waterlogged. Make sure to allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Propagation: Monstera can be propagated using stem cuttings. It's best to take a cutting that includes a node or two. You can root the cutting in wate
