Description
Light
Monstera grow best in bright, indirect light, but are hardy enough to tolerate moderate shade. Avoid direct sunlight however, as this may burn or bleach the leaves.
Watering
Water when the soil of your Monkey Mask has started to dry-out. Be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot.
Temperature
Monstera like warm conditions from 18-27°C. Lower temperatures will reduce the plant’s growth rate. It will tolerate 12°C and above but avoid cold draughts.
Humidity
This plant will do best in average to high humidity levels. Cannot cope in dry air situations so mist occasionally for best results.
Feed
Feed once a month with a balanced fertiliser during the growing period.

Toxicity
The leaves of the Monkey Mask are poisonous so be sure to keep away from pets and children. Do not consume.
