1. There are a LOT of people saying to put your air roots in cups of water to encourage new leaves, DONT that’ll work for a bit but then it’ll just cause root rot. 2. They can also sunburn BAD when left out in the hot summer sun, like in the DIRECT sunlight all day. That happened to me and I actually had to cut a few leaves off. 3. They’re also considered poisonous to animals, so not let your pets eat them

Ofc! I mean like you bury like a cup to refill in the dirt and when the air roots (roots that grow above ground) sprout from your plant you put them in the cups of water and just refill the cup constantly. It might encourage one or two leaves to grow but then it’ll just become a hazard for root rot

I have a couple monsteras and they LOVE LIGHT! my monstera adansonii is less than a foot from a south window and grows like a weed! my deliciosa is less than a foot from a west window and I also add an extra grow light to her and she’s growing quite well too.

i have two monsteras and they love to be in sunlight, maybe not directly in the window, but close enough so they have access to the light. i also mist them around once a week!
