Monstera ‘El Salvador’
Care Specks:
Bright to medium light, recommended placement is within a metre of a window |
|
Allow it to mostly dry between waterings but not entirely |
|
Give them well draining soil - adding about 20% to 30% perlite into your standard premium potting mix will do the trick. |
|
The best temperature range for your Monstera siltepecana is 10°C -35°C |
|
|
Like other vine plants, they are fast growers and benefit from having something to hold on to like a moss pole, or something they can climb, wrapping up and down the pole will give a bushy look. |
|
They propagate from stem cuttings very easily. Just snip below a node, place in water and wait a few weeks and it’s that easy. Fast to root, easy to transplant to soil. This plant is made for propagating given its growth rate! |
|
Monstera prefers high humidity. But as with almost all other Monstera (with the exception of Monstera Obliqua), it will also grow in lower humidity well as well. |
Toxic to pets! |
|
|
If allowed to grow upright, this plant develops magnificent holes or fenestrations in the leaves when mature, which are well worth the wait. We recommend training this one up a bark post or totem if you wish to see this develop in your plant. |
