How to care for a Monstera Obliqua Peru

Watering Monstera Obliqua Peru

Monstera Obliqua Peru likes even moisture in its potting soil, but avoids excess water. Water about once a week, depending on the temperature and humidity in your home. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly before watering again. If necessary, add hydroponic clays to the bottom of the pot to promote good drainage and prevent root rot.

Light requirements of Monstera Obliqua Peru

The Monstera Obliqua Peru thrives in bright, indirect light, for example, behind a semi-transparent curtain. Direct sunlight can quickly burn the thin leaves, so avoid a south-facing windowsill without protection. On the other hand, too little light isn't an option either, as it will cause fewer perforations in the leaves. Change its location if you notice the plant leaning toward the light and use a diffused light source to stimulate growth.

Common problems and solutions

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves can indicate overwatering or a nutrient deficiency. Check that the potting soil is well-draining and doesn't retain water. Fertilize the plant monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. For practical tips, consult our blog post on root rot in houseplants .

Plant dripping water

A dripping Monstera Obliqua Peru can form dew when humidity is high and temperature fluctuations occur. Avoid placing the plant directly next to a warm radiator or air conditioner, and ventilate the room regularly. Wipe away excess moisture with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent mold growth. Also check out our jungle mist spray for healthy humidity.

Plagues

Spider mites, scale insects, and mealybugs are the most common pests affecting tropical houseplants. Check the undersides of leaves weekly and, for light infestations, use a plant sprayer with mild soap and water. For persistent pests, you can use sticky traps to control fungus gnats . Ensure good air circulation to limit re-infestations.

Carrots come out of the pot

When aerial roots reach the rim of the pot, it's a sign that your Monstera Obliqua Peru needs a larger pot. Repot the plant in a pot 2 to 3 centimeters larger in diameter and use a potting mix for aroids. Add perlite for extra airiness and drainage. You'll find the right soil types in our collection of potting soil and accessories .

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown edges are often caused by low humidity or irregular watering. Maintain a constant humidity of around 60 percent by spraying or using a humidifier. Also avoid cold drafts, as they can damage the leaf edges. Regular care with our microfiber dusting mitt will keep your leaves clean and healthy.

Is Monstera Obliqua Peru poisonous?

Fortunately, the Monstera Obliqua Peru is poisonous to humans and pets due to the presence of potassium oxalate crystals. Keep the plant out of reach of children and curious pets. For a non-toxic option, check out our collection of non-toxic houseplants .
