Can you grow monsteras outdoors? Plant expert reveals where in the world you can grow these luscious jungle leaves in your yard

Grow monsteras outdoors.

As a self-confessed houseplant fanatic, I have my favorites among my indoor plant collection. A plant that stands out as one of my most prized possessions is my Monstera deliciosa. I'm not the only indoor plant collector to make this claim, either, as these jungle plants have become household favorites for bringing lush foliage to our interiors.

If you're like me, you may want to extend your joy of monsteras to your outdoor space, but you're wondering if you can actually grow monsteras outdoors. After all, these are topical indoor plants that thrive in the humidity and warmer temperatures of their native habitat - tropical rainforests in Mexico and Central America. But, it might actually be more possible than you assume. In fact, monsteras are able to tolerate cooler temperatures than those in their native environment, making it possible to grow and care for monsteras outdoors across some regions.
