How To Care For Philodendron Monstera Deliciosa. In this case you can dilute your chosen fertilizer to half its strength and continue to use it throughout the colder months. A lot of people recommend a 20-20-20 fertiliser but Im sticking with seaweed.
Pot your Monstera in loose peaty soil to ensure proper drainage and aeration of the roots. Fill the bottom third with peaty potting soil and establish a stake gently for the stem to climb on. Improper drainage can cause root rot.
Take care of your Monstera and it will take care of you.
Set the roots into the container. Place your plant at least 4 feet away as the window can act as a magnifying glass and cause burns. When pruning your Monstera use sharp clean shears and cut any excessive growth at the base of the stem. I fertilise monstera on a monthly-ish basis with a seaweed fertiliser.
