Share
Ah, the Monstera Deliciosa, what a beautiful addition to your interior!
With its impressive leaves that look like they were plucked from a tropical rainforest, this plant really makes a statement in any room. The Monstera, also known as the Swiss cheese plant, is not only a beautiful ornamental plant, but also has the ability to purify the air in your home. It is a versatile plant that is a valuable asset both aesthetically and functionally.
To keep a close eye on them I recommend the following rhythm:
-
Monday: Check if the top layer of soil is dry and water if necessary. Make sure the pot drains well to prevent root rot.
-
Wednesday: Spray the leaves with water to increase humidity and remove dust. This keeps the leaves shiny and healthy.
-
Friday: Turn the plant a little so that it receives even light. This promotes balanced growth and prevents the plant from growing crooked.
For the seasonal changes, here are some tips:
-
Spring: Start with a light fertilizer to support the new growth cycle. This helps the plant stay healthy and strong.
-
Summer: Provide plenty of water and high humidity, especially during the warmer months. This keeps the leaves looking nice and prevents them from drying out.
-
Fall: Reduce watering as the plant becomes less active. Check regularly for fallen leaves and maintain humidity.
-
Winter: Do not place the Monstera directly next to a heating source to prevent dehydration. Provide sufficient light, but avoid cold drafts and dry air.
My interior styling advice
The Monstera Deliciosa fits perfectly in a bright, modern space. Place it in a spot where it gets a lot of indirect light, such as next to a large window with filtered light. For an extra tropical feel, you can combine the Monstera with other exotic plants such as the Ficus elastica or the Sansevieria. This combination creates a lush and refined look that really brings your interior to life.
