Spots Mysteriosa Monstera

Spots Mysteriosa is a Monstera deliciosa selection. [1]

Monstera deliciosa climbs with aerial roots. Juvenile leaves can be unbroken; the familiar holes and edge divisions develop as the plant matures. [2]

Choose bright indirect light and leave room for climbing growth. If a position changes, increase exposure gradually rather than putting indoor-grown foliage straight into strong sun. [3]

Use an open, well-drained mix. Choose a container stable enough for the canopy and its climbing support; a very large pot can remain wet too long. [4]

Use a pot with drainage holes. [6]

A warm room and moderate humidity suit indoor Monstera. Keep leaves away from cold drafts; a humidifier can help in very dry air. [3]

Feed during active growth at the product label rate; pause when growth slows. [7]

Tie climbing stems gently to a support. If the plant outgrows its space, shorten the stem during active growth; renewed shoots may initially carry smaller, less divided leaves. [4]

As daylight weakens, review the window position and rotate the pot for even exposure. [12]

In winter, keep the rootball just moist and reduce watering as growth slows. Resume regular feeding when new growth becomes active. [11]

Monstera adansonii is smaller than Monstera deliciosa, with smaller leaves. Both species climb using aerial roots. [16]

Spots Mysteriosa belongs with the Monstera deliciosa selections in this encyclopedia. [1]
