Now is the time to fertilize your monstera for a luscious indoor jungle – plant experts share how to give this statement houseplant a boost

How to fertilize a monstera.

Those closest to me know that my Monstera deliciosa is one of my prized possessions. When I first bought it about two years ago it was around two feet tall and has now doubled in both height and spread. Not only have I managed to keep it thriving by providing optimal growing conditions, but I also routinely fertilize my monstera to achieve more growth.

Caring for monsteras is fairly straightforward. These plants are hardy and won't complain too much if their soil is dry for a short period. However, if you notice your monstera leaves are drooping or perhaps there hasn't been a lot of growth, you might want to try using plant food to brighten up this plant's luscious dark green foliage and encourage new leaves to sprout.
