What Your Monstera Actually Needs Before March – For Bigger, More Beautiful Leaves in Spring

Monstera fruit and flowers.

As an avid houseplant collector, this time of year can feel especially busy. As we transition out of winter and spring starts to arrive, I always find my houseplants calling out in desperation for some TLC, especially my Monstera deliciosa with its brown tips, drooping foliage, and dull appearance. The good news is, it takes just a handful of steps to perk it back up and prepare it for a new growing season.

Even if you kept on top of monstera care through the winter months, it's inevitable for it to look a little worse for wear by February. But, by pruning, cleaning its leaves, and adjusting watering, you can improve its appearance almost immediately and strengthen it in time for spring, when it enters an active growth season.
