Select container

For hydroponic Monstera, try to use professional hydroponic containers. For hydroponic novices, it is convenient for maintenance and more conducive to the growth of the plant. Oval glass hydroponic containers are usually used.

Treating plants

Remove the soil-grown Monstera from the pot, wash the soil off the roots, and trim the old roots appropriately, making sure not to damage the roots during the handling process.

Hydroponics

There should be a certain amount of water in the glass container, but it should not be too full. Two-thirds of the roots of the Monstera plant should be immersed in water, and the rest should be exposed to the air. Check the root condition from time to time. If everything is normal, it means the hydroponics is successful. Change the water once a week. When the roots grow enough aquatic roots, add appropriate amount of nutrient solution and maintain it normally.

Hydroponic Monstera Maintenance

Monstera likes moisture. Even if it is grown in water, you still need to spray water on the leaves when the weather is dry to keep the air moist, which is conducive to the growth of branches and leaves and the bright color of the leaves.

Place the hydroponic Monstera in a place with sufficient diffuse light. If it is too shaded for a long time, artificial light can be added. In winter, place the Monstera in a sunny and warm place, away from direct cold winds.

Because the leaves of Monstera are large, heavy containers should be used when growing them in water to prevent them from tipping over. Place the plant as steadily as possible. If it is a simple hydroponic plant, try not to place it in a high place for maintenance.

Brown spot disease sometimes occurs on the leaves of Monstera deliciosa, and it is necessary to spray it with thiophanate-methyl or carbendazim in time to prevent the disease from spreading.
