Full Botanical Name:
Monstera obliqua 'Peru'
Common Names:
Peruvian Monstera, Swiss Cheese Plant
Country and/or Region of Origin:
Native to the tropical forests of Peru.
Growing Conditions in Native Habitat:
Monstera obliqua thrives in the humid, dense understory of the forest, climbing trees and receiving filtered sunlight.
Care Information:
•Light:Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can stunt growth.
•Ideal Room:Ideal for rooms with a lot of space and indirect sunlight such as living rooms, offices, or indoor patios.
•Feeding:Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormant winter months.
•Humidity:Requires high humidity to thrive. Consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray.
•Ideal Temperature:Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
•Watering:Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
•Pet/Child Safe:Monstera plants are toxic if ingested due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. Keep away from pets and children.
•Soil:Use a well-draining, peaty soil mix that retains moisture but allows excess water to drain.
•Propagation:Propagate through stem cuttings or air layering. Spring or early summer is ideal for propagation.
•Eventual Height and Spread:Can grow several feet tall and wide, with a climbing or trailing habit.
•Growth Rate:Moderate, depending on care and environmental conditions.
•Pests and Treatment:Watch for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed.
•Repotting:Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and accommodate root growth.
•Pruning:Prune to control size and remove unhealthy parts. This encourages healthier growth and a fuller appearance.
•Folk Law:Often seen as a symbol of longevity and good health, adding an exotic touch and supposed air-purifying qualities to homes.
