How to Care for Your Monkey Monstera
Where to Position Your Plant
Monkey Monstera’s thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can damage their delicate leaves.
If you're unsure where to place your plant, our team at your local florist in Bawtry are always happy to help you choose the perfect spot.
How Often Should I Water?
Water your Monkey Monstera when the soil starts to dry out. If the top layer feels dry to the touch, it’s ready for a drink.
A simple method is to let your plant absorb water from the bottom — this helps prevent overwatering and keeps your plant healthy.
What is the Best Temperature?
Monkey Monstera’s prefer warmer temperatures between 18–27°C, but they can tolerate cooler conditions down to around 12°C.
Is it Toxic to Animals?
Yes, Monkey Monstera’s are toxic if eaten by pets or children, but they are completely safe to touch.
If you’re unsure which plant is right for your home, pop into our Bawtry florist for advice on pet-friendly options.
What Are the Benefits?
Not only is the Monkey Monstera visually striking, but it also has air-purifying properties, helping to remove impurities and create a cleaner, fresher environment in your home.
Helpful Hint
As your Monkey Monstera grows, it’s completely natural for the lower leaves to turn yellow over time.
Simply allow the plant to absorb the nutrients, then trim off the dried leaves to keep it looking fresh and healthy.
