Care Instructions for Broken Heart Plant (Monstera Adansonii)
1. Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light, mimicking its natural rainforest environment. Can tolerate low light, but growth may slow, and fenestrations may be less pronounced. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
3. Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments. Increase humidity with occasional misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier, especially in dry indoor climates.
4. Temperature: Ideal temperature range: 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid placing the plant in drafty areas or near temperature extremes.
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for tropical plants. A mix containing peat, perlite, or orchid bark works well.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
7. Pruning: Trim yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s health and appearance. Pruning encourages bushier growth and helps control its size.
8. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or when the roots outgrow the pot. Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter.
