Monstera deliciosa

Monsteras are quite robust when it comes to temperature with an optimal range being 15-27°C. If temperatures briefly drop slightly below this, your Monstera will still be happy as long as kept dry and in a bright area. 

Monstera deliciosa is a sun lover, and is best placed in bright indirect sunlight. Be careful if placing into a sunny south-facing window during summer months as this may scorch the leaves, allow it to build up some sun tolerance by gradually moving closer to the window or introducing it to that space in late autumn-early spring months. Monsteras will grow in less intense bright light, but will likely have smaller leaves with less fenestrations. 

These plants love humidity, although it is not essential and normal household humidity should be enough for them. Monsteras have aerial roots which allow them to take up moisture from the air, and it is even better to have these growing into a (real) moss pole where they can soak up water and nutrient. High humidity and use of a moss pole is another way to encourage those extra large fenestrated leaves. 

Although they love humidity, they are not happy about having oversaturated soil on their roots. Allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry in between watering is ideal, and you may find they drink a lot less water over winter months. Because they grow so quickly, it is important to give them some food through spring-autumn months, usually every 2nd or 3rd water.
