Care Instructions:

To ensure your Monstera Epipremnum Albo thrives, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may hinder its growth and variegation. A spot near an east or north-facing window is ideal.
• Watering: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to strike the right balance. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, and reduce during the fall and winter.
• Humidity: Enjoys high humidity levels (50% and above). You can mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray to create a more humid environment, especially during dry seasons.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid placing it near cold drafts or heat sources.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one that contains peat, perlite, and orchid bark to ensure good aeration and moisture retention.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter months when growth slows down.
• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter to encourage healthy growth.
