#4 Plant Care Guide - Cheese (Monstera)

I’m a monstera, natural from Central America, where I climb up the trees to a height of 20 metres.

My leaf holes eventually grow towards the edge and open up as I grow and mature. My heart-shaped leaves are a symbol of a long life and the honouring of respected people.

GENERAL CARE

SUN - keep me in light shaded places. Not suited for intense, direct sun.

WATER - wait for my soil to dry out before giving me a drink.

EXTRA CARE

Once a month over the growing season, feed me with a balanced fertiliser. Help me breathe by wiping my leaves and removing dust.

I'm not pet-friendly but can perfectly co-exist with pets if both are given the right space. I can be irritating to cats, dogs, and humans only if foliage consumed. 

HOW I TAKE CARE OF YOU

With my enchanting forms, I’ll make you think of the outdoors and help you feel less boxed in.
