💚 Care Instructions

Ensure your Monstera Thai Constellation thrives with these detailed care guidelines:

• Soil: Use a chunky, well-aerated, fast-draining mix. Ideal components include cocopeat, bark, perlite, and compost. Good drainage is essential.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions (18–30°C). Protect from cold temperatures and sudden fluctuations.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. While adaptable indoors, higher humidity encourages better leaf size and health (ideally 60%+).
• Fertilizer: Feed during active growth (spring/summer) every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer at mild strength.
• Pruning & Maintenance: Remove damaged or fully green reverted leaves if needed. Provide support (moss pole) for larger, mature foliage.

☀️ Light & Water Needs

• Light: Bright indirect light is crucial. Good lighting preserves variegation and supports larger leaf development. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can burn the pale sections, and avoid low light, which slows growth.
• Watering: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Variegated Monsteras are more sensitive to overwatering.
