Plant Care
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant: The Monstera Peru loves to be fed from spring to winter, and because it’s a quick growth, it has to be fed every 2 to 3 weeks using a normal house plant fertiliser.
Repotting : Repot your Monstera Peru when it has become rootbound and you can see roots emerging out of the drainage hole and dirt, causing the growth rate to stall. Use a rich yet well-draining potting mix and put it in a container one size larger (2-3 inches). Propagation: Monstera Peru, like other monsteras, may be grown by stem cuttings. Root a stem cutting with at least two root nodules in water before transplanting it to a container of well-draining soil mix.
Typical issues
1. Why are my Monstera Peru leaves curling?
Curling in Monstera Peru plants indicates that the plant is drying out and needs to be watered.
2. How come my Monstera Peru isn’t growing?
Monstera Peru is a fast-growing plant whose development can be slowed by low-light circumstances or being root bound. Give your plant strong indirect light but no direct sunlight, and repot it if you detect roots emerging from the top soil.
3. Why are my plant’s leaves becoming yellow?
Yellowing of the foliage is caused mostly by either overwatering or underwatering. Underwatering occurs when the leaves shrivel up and dry, whereas overwatering occurs when the leaves get mushy. Only water your Monstera when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.

Styling/decor tip : Plant it in a well-lit nook or in a hanging planter to make your own tropical corner with the aid of other plants. Nothing says glam more than a Monstera Peru in a shiny gold planter on shelves and table tops, with its glossy emerald green foliage.
