What are the most important Monstera care tips?

Place your Monstera in bright, indirect light. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out before watering, and increase humidity when possible. Clean leaves gently to remove dust. Prune or support as needed, and avoid standing water in the pot.

How often should I water a Monstera?

Water when the top 2–4 cm of soil feels dry. Typically, this means once a week in summer and less often in winter, but always adjust to your room's conditions.
