How to grow a monstera plant?
Growing monstera is quite simple.
All you need are healthy cuttings (preferably with a new leaf sprouting from it), a favorable environment, and the best soil mix.
As an indoor plant, monstera grows best in ample indirect sunlight and aerated, well draining soil. The growing season for this houseplant is from spring through fall.
Here’s everything else you need to know about growing monstera — from the perfect monstera soil to plant care:

Monstera potting soil usually contains ingredients like biochar that help with nutrient and water retention.
Biochar also improves soil drainage, preventing root rot — which can cause brown spots on monstera leaves. It’s also carbon negative, making it a great alternative to unsustainable materials like peat moss, coco coir, and perlite.
The growing medium should also contain compost that provides this tropical plant with the necessary nutrients.
On top of that, a monstera potting soil mix may contain pine bark or orchid bark chips and sand for better aeration.
