Hi Everyone, I am new to the Monstera movement I am typically a Pothos patron, however I got a great deal on this swiss cheese today and I want to challenge myself to take care of it. How would you recommend me doing so in my space? The pics of my room I added are where I am considering it going. The pic with the pothos is about 4ft from my window which has no curtains. The other pic is across my room, about 8-10ft away from the window. Today I watered it and sprayed it with Neem oil. Its currently on quarantine away from my other plants. Thank you in advance for any help!

    You’ll need some natural light or a grow light. They like bright indirect light and they like to semi dry between waterings.. skewer test works perfect. They also like a bit of humidity and to climb.

      thank you, I will look into the grow light! Would misting it every day simulate enough humidity, or do I need a humidifier?

      Misting is something I do once a week. Just enough to simulate “morning dew”. But I also run 3 small humidifiers. I found them for about $7ea on Amazon

      I don’t have a humidifier. Because I have enough plants in one area they make their own.

    Mine gets sun light everyday. It has adjusted itself so it gets more sun. It’s in a “hanging” position right now. We live with my mom and space is limited so I understand it’s not ideal but it’s still growing healthy leaves. 🍃 I water when about two knuckles deep in the soil is dry. I only wanted till water comes out the bottom. I have no moss pole.

      Yeah no moss poles in my place either. Although it is time to start considering something for a few baby’s to climb🤦‍♀️
