Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Monstera deliciosa or the bifurcated leaf philodendron, is a popular houseplant prized for its large, beautifully perforated leaves. Native to the tropical rainforests of Central America, this evergreen vine belongs to the Araceae family. Monstera deliciosa is known for its iconic leaves, which are deeply lobed and have large, irregular perforations resembling Swiss cheese. These perforations actually serve a purpose in its native habitat, allowing sunlight to penetrate the dense forest canopy. The leaves are typically vibrant green in color, adding a lush and tropical feel wherever they are placed. This plant is a climber that can grow to quite a large size, reaching heights of up to 20 feet (6 meters) in its native habitat. Indoors, it will usually grow to a larger size, but regular pruning and staking may be necessary to maintain shape and prevent sprawling. Monstera deliciosa is admired not only for its aesthetic appeal; It also produces edible fruit, hence the species name "deliciosa." However, it can take decades for a mature plant to bear fruit, and the fruit itself is not readily available in most regions. With its striking appearance and relatively easy care requirements, Monstera deliciosa has become a favorite choice of botany enthusiasts and plant lovers alike. Its tropical charm and unique foliage make it a statement piece that can add a touch of nature's beauty to any interior. #care #repotting #pottedflowers 00:00 introduction 00:26 intro 00:53 a few words about Monstera 01:39 why I bought Monstera 03:32 what to consider when buying Monstera 05:26 How to transport Monstera 06:00 What pot for Monstera 08:21 Soil and substrate for Monstera 09:58 What position for Monstera 11:56 Fertilizer for Monstera 12:53 Spraying and air humidity 14:30 Watering 14:59 Monstera roots 16:13 I'm repotting my Monstera 18:14 Summary 19:20 Outro
