How to grow Monstera

1. Maintenance conditions

1. Water: Monstera requires a lot of water during its growth period and should be watered in time, generally every day. After summer, watering can be more frequent, both in the morning and evening. In a dry climate, water should be sprayed regularly, which can not only rinse the leaves but also increase the humidity.

2. Light: When it is in the seedling stage, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight, as it will burn its leaves. After growing for a period of time, it can accept less strong light. During summer noons, it should be kept indoors or under a tree and away from direct sunlight.

3. Fertilizer: Fertilizer is necessary for the healthy growth of the plants. During the period from April to September, apply low-concentration cake fertilizer water every half a month. Do not use high-concentration fertilizers or raw fertilizers because its roots are very fragile and can easily burn the root system.

2. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

1. Gray spot disease and leaf spot disease: After the disease occurs, the leaves will wither or even fall off. Mancozeb should be used for prevention and control as soon as possible. The daily maintenance environment should be ventilated and exposed to sunlight.

2. Scale insects: They will harm the leaves and petioles of the plant. If there is a small amount, just brush it off. If there is a large amount, spray it with omethoate.
