🌿 Monstera Esqueleto – Care Guide

🌞 Light

• Bright indirect light is ideal.
• Avoid harsh direct sun – it can burn the thin leaves.
• Low light slows growth and reduces fenestrations.

💧 Water

• Water when the top 2–3 cm soil is dry.
• Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy.
• Reduce watering in winter.

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining aroid mix:
  Cocopeat / peat + perlite + orchid bark + compost.

🌡 Temperature

• Best range: 18–30°C
• Protect from cold drafts below 15°C.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60%+).
• Mist regularly or use a humidifier for best leaf size.

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 weeks in growing season with balanced liquid fertilizer.
• Reduce feeding in winter.

🪴 Support

• Provide a moss pole or totem for larger, more fenestrated leaves.

✂️ Pruning & Propagation

• Prune leggy growth to encourage bushiness.
• Propagate by stem cuttings with at least one node.

🐛 Problems

• Yellow leaves → overwatering
• Brown edges → low humidity
• Small leaves → low light or no support
