# Hey Y’all! I have this year and a half old Monstera Deliciosa that…

_Posted by Hoosiergal99 on 2026-08-11_

Hey Y’all!

I have this year and a half old Monstera Deliciosa that hasn’t sprouted a new leaf or really changed much in general over the last few months. I did repot it about three months ago, but I’m pretty new to plants and wanted to see if anyone has any advice/tips on taking good care of her!

Thanks!

Here is a care list  
Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant)  
Light - bright indirect  
Watering - every week (or two times a week)  
Fertilizer- light houseplant fertilizer (for best results )  
Humidity- 60-70% highly recommend humidifier  
Soil - chunky soil mix  
Pot - 1-2inches bigger then the root ball (monsteras like being in small pots)  
Support - moss pole is the most used but there are other great options!  
Common issues - sunburn , overwatering, fungus gnats

I would recommend using fertilizer if you aren’t already since you said it hasn’t been growing a bunch!

Thank you so much! Do you have any fertilizer recommendations?

#### LeafyGreenhouse replied on 2026-08-11

I use southside plants fertilizer for houseplants (off of Amazon) it’s pricy but works wonders. And also has fungi that helps prevent fungus gnats

I use Fox Farms liquid fertilizer. And I agree you probably need to feed your plant. In the spring/summer, it's most active and you should fertilize often. I usually do liquid fertilizer every other watering.
