How often should I water Monstera?

Monstera has a well-developed root system, but when watering, you should follow the principle of "water when dry, and water thoroughly when watering". Do not water halfway. In addition to tap water, you can also use rice water, white vinegar water, and beer water for watering, all of which are beneficial to the growth of the plant.

1. Watering in spring

The temperature in early spring is still relatively low. At this time, you can water the Monstera every 2-3 days, and then water it again every 2 days after the temperature rises.

2. Watering in summer

Summer is the peak growth period of Monstera. At this time, the temperature will gradually rise and the plant's water demand will also increase. It needs to be watered twice a day and sprayed with water frequently to keep it moist.

3. Watering in autumn

The noon in autumn is also very hot, so watering is necessary every day. By the end of autumn, the watering frequency can be extended to 2-3 days.

4. Watering in winter

Monstera will enter a dormant period in winter and does not require much water. Generally, it only needs to be watered once every 5-7 days. You can also wipe its leaves regularly with clean water.
