My beautiful monstera! Knock on wood haven't had any issues it's been growing crazy outside. I can't reach the pot anymore. I have had this plant over 2 years now the big pot next to it is also cuttings from the mother plant.

WOW gorgeous!! I'm assuming you have warm weather all year around or do you have to bring it inside for the winter? Just curious lol

Thank you! Yes, I live in North California it doesn't get below freezing point. Also I always use water conditioner even for outside plants.

Beautiful Monstera. I’m in SoCal San Bernardino foothills, and am planning on leaving mine outside forever. Hope she makes it through winter. Any advice?

Thank you! In the winter I sometimes get frosting on the grass but its doing fine, in your case it's even warmer. Just place it in the shade with lots of light it's best if it's against something it can crawl on mine is crawling on the fence. The summer sun will burn the leaves, also in the winter I don't water it much specially when it's raining. Also it's best if you use water conditioner don't use water straight from tap.  
Good luck!

Does using brita water count as “not tap water” or “water conditioning”?
