light and temperature

Although it is a plant that likes the sun very much, it is important that it does not affect it directly. I suppose that during his stay in paradise, Adam must have been well covered by other plants. Although due to its origins it prefers a humid and hot environment, it can withstand temperatures of up to 5º C. It is as if it had divine protection!

irrigation, fertilization and transplant

As far as watering is concerned, it is a fairly simple plant: you just have to wait for the substrate to be dry to water it. During the hottest months, it should be watered about twice a week, while in winter, if it is watered once every two weeks, it will be served. Also, it will appreciate if you put a saucer with water under the pot. Like a good tropical plant, it loves humidity. So if it is located in a very dry environment, it is advisable to spray its leaves with water from time to time. Like at home! In order for it to shine in all its splendor, it must be paid every 15 days during the warm months. Being a plant that grows a lot, it has to be transplanted every time the pot gets too small. Common sense, right?

diseases and pests

Monstera is a plant that does not suffer from unusual diseases, so no special knowledge is needed. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, do not panic: this is usually due to excess water, so it will suffice to reduce the doses or the frequency of irrigation. In fact, this trick usually works for all plants, so it's worth writing it down...

Jordi's notes

I once found some Monsteras grown outside, which produced an edible fruit. I dared to try them, and the flavor was a mix between banana and pineapple. The truth is that it was delicious! I don't understand why they aren't more popular... With those leaves that are so big and full of holes, it reminds me of a poncho, so I'm going to call it Mexico. Which also fits with all the joy it gives off!
