How to open the back of Monstera

1. Reasons

What people actually don’t know is that this phenomenon actually has its own conditions for existence, and it also requires a relatively good surrounding environment. In the case of bamboo seedlings, the roots at the base are relatively small, which makes its growth ability not very high. When it begins its seedling stage, the entire leaf is complete, but as it grows, the leaves begin to increase. When the temperature and light conditions are suitable for its growth, the leaves will slowly become carved. After it has grown for half a year or even a year, holes will appear on the leaves.

Furthermore, except on very small plants, even after pruning of plants that have been growing for many years, the regrowth of leaves has obvious holes. So we know that the reason why it doesn't bloom is because the light and temperature are not what it needs, and the watering is not done well, so the plant does not get the nutrients it deserves.

2. Solution

In the summer when the temperature is particularly high or in the early autumn when the temperature is relatively not low, we should keep it away from too much sunlight and place it in a cool and ventilated environment. And if it is under relatively soft light conditions, we should let it be exposed to sunlight, so that it will not grow bad due to insufficient light or too much light and can grow normally.

At the same time, when it needs to grow, we must provide it with the water it needs, and we should note that its requirements for water are relatively high at this time. Therefore, we usually need to make the soil in the pot contain some moisture, sprinkle some water on the leaves, or spray water on the ground to increase the humidity. Of course, this can also help lower the temperature and make the plants grow better.

Fertilization is also necessary. We can apply top dressing once a week or two weeks, and the fertilizer mainly uses nitrogen fertilizer. Because these points are more important, if you follow them, opening the back will be a very natural process.
