Monstera Peru

 Light

• Loves bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate medium light, but growth will be slower and leaves smaller.

• Avoid long hours of direct sun — her leathery leaves can burn.

 Water

• Let the top 2 inches of soil dry out before watering again.

• She’s a little more drought-tolerant than some Monsteras, thanks to her thick leaves, but don’t push it too far.

• Always check soil before watering to avoid root rot.

 Soil

• A chunky, airy mix is best:

  • Potting soil + perlite + orchid bark (maybe a little coco coir).

• She hates compacted, soggy soil.

 Temperature & Humidity

• Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C).

• Loves humidity — aim for 50%+.

• She’ll survive in regular home humidity but may not grow as fast or get as lush.

 Growth Habit & Training

• She’s a climber, not a trailer!

• Give her a moss pole, wood board, or trellis — she’ll latch on with aerial roots and produce bigger, more dramatic leaves.

• Without support, she’ll stay smaller and bushier.

 Pruning & Propagation

• Trim any leggy vines above a node to encourage fuller growth.

• Propagation:

  1. Snip a cutting with at least one node + leaf.

  2. Root in water, moss, or directly in soil.

  3. Be patient — she can be a bit slower than other Monsteras.

Watch Out For

• Yellow leaves → usually overwatering.

• Crispy edges → low humidity or underwatering.

• Stunted growth → needs more light or support to climb.
