How to care for a Monstera Obliqua Peru

Watering Monstera Obliqua Peru

Monstera Obliqua Peru likes even moisture but not soggy soil.
Water about once a week and allow the top layer of potting soil to dry between waterings.
Preferably use an airy mix, for example our potting soil for aroids 5l, for optimal drainage.

Light for Monstera Obliqua Peru

This Monstera thrives in bright, indirect light and avoid direct midday sun.
Place it in a semi-shaded spot, away from direct sunlight that can burn the fragile leaves.
For bright spaces, you can also take a look at our collection of Swiss cheese plants to discover similar varieties.

Common problems

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves are often a sign of too much water or too little light.
Check that the potting soil drains excess water and prevent water retention by making a hole in the pot and placing hydro grains at the bottom.
If necessary, move the plant to a brighter spot and adjust your watering routine to prevent further yellowing.

Plant drips

A Monstera Obliqua Peru can secrete water droplets through hydathodes if the humidity is too high.
Provide good air circulation and limit overwatering.
With a plant sprayer or our jungle mist spray you can stabilize the humidity without the plant dripping.

Plagues

Spider mites, thrips and mealy bugs can occur on your Monstera Obliqua Peru, especially in dry conditions.
Inspect the underside of the leaves regularly and treat early if detected.
A gentle rinse with lukewarm water or an organic pesticide often provides sufficient relief.

Carrots emerge from the bottom of the pot

Aerial roots are characteristic of aroids such as this Monstera Obliqua Peru and do not necessarily indicate distress.
They're looking for extra air and support; you can simply guide them along a moss pole or repot them in a larger pot from our selection of pots for houseplants.
It is best to repot every two years to ensure nutrients and growing space.

Brown edges on leaves

Brown edges usually indicate air that is too dry or irregular watering.
Increase the humidity around the plant with a bowl of water or a humidifier.
Maintain a constant moisture pattern and avoid cold, dry draughts.
