Is this a gift? Personalize it with a little note! (optional)

Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun as leaves will burn.
When the top inch or two of the soil is dry, saturate with enough water so that water runs through the bottom of the pot. Leaves will start to curl if it needs to be watered. Don't water too often that the soil becomes waterlogged, always test the soil with an uncated chopstick before watering. Since Monsteras are epiphytes with aerial roots, they are sensitive to overwatering, so they don’t want to sit in soggy soil.
Rotate often to ensure even growth.

Add a moss pole or trellis as they grow so the aerial roots can attach and the plant will be supported.

Monstera prefer medium to high humidity. Use a pebble tray or humidifier to increase humidity.

Fertilize once a month during the spring and summer.
