Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I maintain the variegation on my Monstera?

A: Give it plenty of bright, indirect light. Variegated areas cannot photosynthesize, so low light will cause new leaves to emerge solid green.

Q: Why are the leaves on my Monstera turning yellow?

A: Yellow leaves are usually a sign of overwatering. Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out completely before watering again.

Q: Does my Monstera need a support pole?

A: Yes! As climbing epiphytes, Monsteras thrive and produce larger leaves when trained up a moss pole or trellis.
