All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Monstera Peru is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it grows in the understory, climbing trees and structures in search of sunlight.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It tolerates lower light but grows more slowly and may lose some leaf texture.
  • Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It is sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
  • Humidity: Thrives in warm temperatures and appreciates high humidity, achieved through misting or a humidifier.
  • Soil: Use a well draining potting mix with perlite and orchid bark for good aeration.
