Monstera Deliciosa

Description

• Monstera Deliciosa aka The Fruit Salad Plant is one of the most popular indoor and shade garden plants.
  
• This plant is an Aroid (member of the Araceae family) and a climber that will eventually need support.
• It has dark green leaves. Older the leaf, darker the colour.
  
• As the plant ages, the leaves develop holes and split along the edges.
• Monstera Deliciosa can grow to about 20m in ideal conditions, in the wild. It can be trimmed down if grown indoors, but usually only reaches 2m in pots.
• Flowers appear in maturity and are self-pollinating, producing edible fruit.

Position & Care

• Monstera Deliciosa is a fantastic indoor plant that will forgive a little neglect, though beware that neglect may cause browning or yellowing.
  
• It can also be grown outdoors in the shade/ filtered light. A little morning sun will not hurt it.
• The best spot for this plant is close to a window which will see it grow well. The Monstera will also deal with deeper shade, but the growth may be a bit slower.
  
• To help it along, mist every few days (this is not essential)
• Water regularly, though do not keep oversaturated or sitting in waterlogged potting mix.
• For a nice, large plant, re-pot into a bigger pot every year and feed with a slow-release fertilizer throughout the growing season.

Suggestions

• Monstera Deliciosa is ideal for pots.
• It grows best if provided with some kind of support (totem/large stick/plant ladder).
• Can be planted in a tropical garden in a climate with no frost.
