Talk about the maintenance of Monstera deliciosa
Hello, everyone, welcome to this episode. I am your good friend Xiaohua. With the weather gradually warming up, recently, I have received quite a few private messages from flower enthusiasts. They all say that they want to buy several pots of leafy green plants like Clivia miniata and Epipremnum aureum. Among them, Monstera deliciosa is deeply loved by many people for its unique shape and generous posture. So, today let's see how to quickly master the maintenance skills of Monstera deliciosa and make it grow lush and vigorous!
Firstly, the secret to raising old Monstera deliciosa.
One, the potting soil should not be too dry, slightly moist is fine.
Monstera deliciosa naturally prefers to grow in a relatively humid environment, requiring the potting soil to be properly moist, and even the humidity of the air needs to meet the corresponding requirements, otherwise not only the new tender leaves will have low appearance, losing the grand and beautiful style, but the old leaves will also easily become yellow and wilt, losing their vitality.
Two, prune the branches and leaves regularly.
Since this plant is known for its vigorous vitality, good growth, and first-class renewal speed, if pruning is not scheduled regularly, allowing the withered branches and old leaves to continue to survive, a large amount of nutrients will be wasted in vain, thus truly delaying the germination and growth of new branches and tender leaves. However, to be on the safe side, when pruning Monstera deliciosa, do not use too much force, and do not prune too close to the roots, keeping a distance of about five centimeters is best.

Three, use organic fertilizer for fertilizing.
Generally speaking, the best kind of flower fertilizer is decomposed farm manure (organic fertilizer), which is rich in various trace elements needed for plant growth, preventing poor growth and development. However, there is a disadvantage to this type of fertilizer, which is that it can easily attract pests and breed bacteria and viruses in the dark, so protective measures need to be taken when using it.
Secondly, "Which is the best for new plant growth, one thing can handle it all."
As a plant that attracts attention with its leaves, the ornamental advantage of Monstera deliciosa is mainly reflected in its large, lush, and tropical-style leaves. To make the plant produce more new buds and new branches and leaves, fertilizing must be timely and adequate. Since Monstera deliciosa likes light but is afraid of strong light, many flower experts often suggest keeping the plant near the windowsill in the living room. This way, it ensures sufficient light without worrying about the sunlight being too dazzling, which might burn and kill the plant. Therefore, people need to change the required chemical fertilizers according to the times and local conditions, such as replacing the original raw fertilizers with balanced and comprehensive compound fertilizers.
Lastly, the matter of repotting, which many friends are very concerned about. For Monstera deliciosa, it should be repotted at least once every 1-2 years, otherwise its roots will continue to grow strong until they fill the entire pot, causing the new roots and buds to lack favorable conditions for germination. Over time, the plant's growth will definitely be affected, and the growth rate will gradually slow down. Therefore, to make it easier for the plant to be repotted, people can start to cut off water supply about 3 days in advance, and then, when the potting soil is mostly dry, the next step can be carried out.
