How to properly water and fertilize Monstera? Does Monstera require light?

1. How to water and fertilize correctly

1. Watering: Monstera prefers a humid growing environment and needs to be watered properly during maintenance. The climate is different in different seasons, so the frequency of watering is different. In spring and autumn, you can water it every 3-4 days, in late spring or early autumn, you can water it once a day, and in summer, water it every morning and evening. The temperature in winter is relatively low and the evaporation rate is relatively slow, so you can water it every 5-7 days. Control the amount of water each time you water, and never water too much to cause water accumulation. In addition to normal root watering, mist the plant during dry summer months.

2. Fertilization: Monstera is a plant that likes fertilizer. If it is not fertilized in time, its growth will be affected and it will not be able to supply later growth. April to September each year is the period of vigorous growth. Fertilizer can be applied every half a month. Pay attention to the concentration of the fertilizer and do not apply concentrated fertilizer. In autumn and winter, because the growth is very slow, you can stop fertilizing, or you can apply light fertilizer every month.

2. Is there a need for light?

Monstera has certain requirements for light. As long as it is exposed to sufficient sunlight, it can carry out photosynthesis and synthesize nutrients to maintain good growth. Usually place it in a bright place, but avoid strong sunlight.
