Care Instructions
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can reduce variegation.

Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.
-
Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity levels but can tolerate average indoor humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a humidifier to maintain optimal conditions.
-
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix designed for aroids or a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
-
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
Additional Tips
-
Support: As the Monstera Thai Constellation grows, it may benefit from a moss pole or trellis to support its climbing habit.
-
Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's health and appearance. Pruning can also help manage its size and shape.
-
Propagation: Can be propagated via stem cuttings. Ensure each cutting has at least one node and a leaf, then root in water or directly in soil.
