To care for a monstera plant, you must water it generously and infrequently. The soil must be at least an inch thick. However, it should not become soggy that the roots become suffocated. You can cause the leaves to become brown by overwatering or allowing it to dry out for too long. Avoid these problems by watering your monstera every other week, or once a week. For those dry spells, you may need to fertilize your monstera with extra flower food or fertilizer.
The Monstera should always be kept dry in a plastic pot that has drainage holes. This will catch excess water and protect your furniture from waterlogged roots. Make sure you drain any excess water from the container before watering the monstera. To prevent overwatering and rotting, it is best to turn the soil when it has a dry base. Ensure that you do not overwater it and make sure it dries before placing it in soil.
Make sure to check your Monstera plants soil for moisture before watering them. The top inch of the plant should be easy to remove with a finger.

You must use the correct method when watering your Monstera to prevent waterlogging. Use a wooden stick, or finger test to determine the correct amount of water. When the top inch of soil is dry, you can delay watering. You can water your plants if the top inch of soil is too moist. If it doesn't feel damp, you should wait a day or two. The soil's top inch should be slightly damp.

Humidity levels can be increased by using a humidifier. You can also mist your Monstera every other day to water it. This is a great habit to have if you're away from home.
Regardless of the climate, a monstera's soil will dry out and need water frequently. A moisture meter can be used to determine the soil's moisture. Low humidity areas will mean that your monstera needs to be watered more often. But it's worth the effort, because it is a cactus! The moisture meter will give you an accurate reading of soil moisture.

However, don’t let it become too wet. Healthy growth requires that the soil remains moist. Monstera will not grow to its full potential.
FAQ
What's the best way to keep my indoor plant alive?
Indoor plants can survive up to ten years. To ensure new growth, it's important that you repot indoor plants every few years. Repotting is simple. Just remove the old soil, and then add fresh compost.
How much space does a vegetable garden require?
One square foot of soil will require 1/2 pound of seeds. This is a good rule of thumb. You will need 100 pounds of seed if your area is 10 feet by 10 foot (3 meters by 3 metres).
How many hours does a plant need to get light?
It depends on the plant. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Some prefer 8 hours of indirect sunshine. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.
When to plant flowers?
When the weather is milder and the soil has a good moisture content, spring is the best time to plant flowers. If you live in colder climates, it is best to plant flowers after the first frost. The ideal temperature to grow plants indoors is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which vegetables are best to grow together?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They work well together as tomatoes need heat to ripen and peppers need lower temperatures for optimal flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
What month is the best time to start a garden?
It is best to plant vegetables between April and June. This is when the soil is warmest and plants grow fastest. If you live outside of a warm climate, you might be better off waiting until July or August.

How To
Use organic fertilizers in your garden
Organic fertilizers are made from natural substances such as manure, compost, fish emulsion, seaweed extract, guano, and blood meal. Non-synthetic materials are used in the production of organic fertilizers. Synthetic fertilizers include chemicals used in industrial processes. These fertilizers are commonly used in agriculture, as they can provide nutrients to plants quickly without the need for complicated preparation. Synthetic fertilizers can pose risks to the environment and human health. They also require large amounts energy and water to make. Moreover, many synthetic fertilizers pollute groundwater and surface waters due to runoff. This is a problem for wildlife and humans alike.
There are many kinds of organic fertilizers.
* Manure is a product of livestock eating nitrogen-rich food (a plant nutrient). It is made up of bacteria and enzymes, which break down the waste into simpler compounds that can be absorbed easily by plants.
* Compost is a mixture of vegetable scraps and grass clippings, animal manure, and decaying leaves. It is rich with nitrogen, phosphorus. potassium, calcium. magnesium. sulfur. iron. copper. manganese. molybdenum. chlorine. and carbon. It is extremely porous and holds water well.
* Fish Emulsion- A liquid product that is made from fish oil. It has the ability to dissolve oils, fats and is very similar to soap. It also contains trace elements, phosphorous and nitrogen.
* Seaweed Extract - a concentrated solution of minerals extracted from kelp, red algae, brown algae, and green algae. It is rich in vitamins A, C and iodine as well as iron.
* Guano - excrement from seabirds, bats, reptiles, and amphibians. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium as well as sodium, magnesium, sulfate and chloride.
* Blood Meal is the meat and bones of animals that have been slaughtered. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also contains phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and trace minerals.
Combine equal parts of compost, manure and/or fish-emulsion to make organic fertilizer. Mix well. If you don’t own all three ingredients, one can be substituted for the other. You can mix one part of the fish emulsion with two portions of compost if you don't have enough.
Apply the fertilizer by spreading it evenly using a tiller or shovel. Spread about a quarter cup of the mixture per square foot of growing space. You will need more fertilizer to see signs and growth every two weeks.
