Monstera Obliqua (Leichtlinii) Care

Monstera Obliqua Leichtlinii is a rare and highly sought-after houseplant with characteristically perforated leaves. It is ideal for plant collectors and lovers of tropical species – its unique appearance will make an impression in any interior.

💧 Watering Water moderately – only when the top layer of substrate (approx. 2–3 cm) is dry. Monstera does not tolerate overwatering. Caution: Do not let water stand in the saucer under the pot. Use room temperature, standing water.

☀️ Light Prefers bright, indirect light – ideal placement is near an east or west-facing window.

• Avoid direct midday sun, which can burn the leaves.

• Insufficient light will significantly slow growth and result in less fenestrated leaves.

🌡️ Temperature and Air

• Ideal temperature: 18–25 °C.

• Cold: Does not tolerate temperatures below 15 °C or drafts.

• Humidity: Appreciates higher air humidity. Regularly mist the leaves or place on a tray with moist pebbles.

🌿 Fertilization During the growing season (spring–autumn), fertilize every 2–4 weeks with a liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Completely skip fertilization in winter.

🧽 Substrate and Repotting Requires well-draining, airy substrate – an aroid mix with perlite or bark is ideal. Repot in spring, always into a pot only one size larger.

⚠️ Warning Monstera is toxic to pets and children. Keep out of their reach.
