Monstera karstenianum, also known as Monstera Peru, is a beautiful and popular tropical plant that is relatively easy to care for. Here are some care tips.
Lighting: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Monstera Peru prefers to be kept evenly moist, but not waterlogged.
Humidity: This plant thrives in high humidity, so consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant.
Soil: Use well-draining soil that retains moisture, such as a mix of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
Fertilizing: Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Pruning: Trim any yellow or damaged leaves, and encourage bushier growth by pinching back new growth.
