Monstera Obliqua 'Monkey Leaf'

The Monstera Obliqua 'Monkey Leaf' is a unique and striking houseplant that immediately catches the eye with its playful leaves full of holes and incisions. This charming plant is smaller and more compact than the classic Monstera, making it perfect for smaller spaces. The thin, elongated leaves with their natural 'hole pattern' give the Monstera Obliqua an airy and modern look, adding warmth and atmosphere to any room.

Location

The Monstera Obliqua 'Monkey Leaf' thrives in a spot with bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage the delicate leaves, so avoid a spot that is too sunny. A spot near a window with filtered light or a bit further away from a south-facing window is ideal. The Monstera Obliqua likes a warm environment with a temperature between 18°C ​​and 24°C . Place the plant away from drafts and cold temperatures, which can stunt growth.

Water requirement

This Monstera has an average water requirement and likes a slightly moist potting soil. Only water the plant when the top layer of the potting soil feels dry. In spring and summer, some extra water is desirable, while watering can be reduced in autumn and winter. Regular misting is recommended, because the Monstera Obliqua appreciates a higher humidity; this also helps to keep the leaves beautiful and healthy.

Soil and nutrition

The Monstera Obliqua 'Monkey Leaf' grows best in a well-draining potting soil. A mixture of standard potting soil, peat moss and perlite is ideal for drainage and prevents the roots from staying too wet. Fertilize the plant during the growing season (spring and summer) approximately every four to six weeks with a balanced houseplant food to keep the plant growing healthily. Follow the instructions on the packaging to avoid over-fertilizing.
