# To the siwss monstera plant experts! I wanted to get a HUGE monstera…

_Posted by Nicole on 2024-09-21_

To the siwss monstera plant experts! I wanted to get a HUGE monstera and put it by my bookshelf, but i’m worried it will scorch or burn up? Will the monstera be able to tolerate the morning sun every morning? My window is east facing! Also, if I can’t grow a monstera there please let me know what other tall large plants i could put there instead. Heres a picture of what and where im working with!

East facing windows are great for most plants. I have east in my apartment too.

That makes me happy to hear🥹

Absolutely. Monsteras do best with direct light indoors anyway

Monstera should do just fine in east window. Mine are in a west window and got several hours of direct sun all summer and are THRIVING!
