Ideal Lighting: Bright, indirect light is best. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves.
Placement: Place it near an east or west-facing window with filtered light.
Low-Light Tolerance: While it can survive in lower light, growth will be slower, and fenestrations (leaf holes) may not develop as prominently.
2. Watering
Frequency: Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
Method: Water thoroughly until it drains out of the bottom, then empty the saucer to prevent root rot.
Tip: Monstera laniata prefers consistency—avoid overwatering or letting the soil dry out completely.
3. Humidity and Temperature
Humidity: Thrives in 60–80% humidity. Use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly in dry environments.
Temperature: Keep it in a warm environment between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid placing it near drafts, heaters, or air conditioners.
4. Soil
Type: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
pH Level: Slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.5–7.0) is ideal.
