25 - 35cm Philodendron Cobra Variegata Monstera Standleyana 17cm Pot House Plant
Monstera standleyana, also known as Philodendron Cobra, is a climbing plant with unique, lance-shaped leaves. Here are some care tips for this plant:
-
Light: Monstera standleyana prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but its growth may be slower and its leaves may become less vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Monstera standleyana likes to be evenly moist but not waterlogged, so make sure not to overwater. Water less frequently in the winter.
-
Humidity: Monstera standleyana likes moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves with water, using a humidifier, or placing a tray of water near the plant.
-
Temperature: The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 60-75°F (16-24°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but not below 50°F (10°C).
-
Soil: Monstera standleyana prefers a well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and sand.
-
Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. In the winter, fertilize less frequently.
-
Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Trim the leaves to maintain the plant's shape and promote new growth.
-
Propagation: Monstera standleyana can be propagated through stem cuttings. Cut a stem with a few leaves and place it in water or moist soil until it roots.
-
Pests and Diseases: Monstera standleyana is relatively pest-free, but watch out for spider mites and mealybugs. Overwatering can cause root rot.
Monstera standleyana is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that makes a great addition to any indoor space. With the right care, it can be a long-lasting and rewarding addition to your plant collection.
