Looking to transform your living space into a lush, green oasis? The Costa Farms Monstera is your perfect companion. With its iconic split leaves resembling Swiss cheese, this tropical beauty brings a touch of the jungle right into your home or office. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting your green journey, this Monstera is surprisingly forgiving and adds instant visual interest to any room.
The Monstera stands out for its unique foliage pattern and adaptability to indoor environments. Native to tropical regions, this plant has evolved to thrive in the conditions most homes naturally provide. Its large, glossy leaves create a dramatic focal point while helping to purify the air naturally. Unlike many houseplants, the Monstera grows at a moderate pace, giving you years of enjoyment as it matures and develops more dramatic leaf splits.
Keeping your Monstera happy is easier than you might think. This plant prefers medium, indirect light—think bright rooms but not direct scorching sun. Water about once a week with 2-3 cups, making sure excess water drains completely away. The Monstera doesn't like soggy soil, so always check that the top inch or two feels dry before watering again. During the warm months of spring and summer, give it a boost with general-purpose potted plant fertilizer to encourage healthy new growth.
Your Monstera arrives in a 10-inch black grower pot with drainage holes, ready to make a statement. Place it in a bright corner of your living room, next to a window in your home office, or even in a well-lit bathroom. As it grows, you might need to repot it into a slightly larger container—when you notice roots emerging from the drainage holes, it's time for a new home. This plant is considered hardy in USDA Zones 10-12, making it perfect for indoor cultivation year-round.
Looking for a gift that keeps on giving? The Monstera makes an excellent housewarming, birthday, or thank-you present. Each plant is hand-picked by our growers for its health and quality, and we package them with extra care to ensure they arrive fresh and ready to thrive. Remember that plants are living things, so the exact appearance may vary slightly from the photo—that's part of what makes each one unique and special!
