45 - 55cm Monstera Siltepecana on Mosspole 17cm Pot House Plant
Monstera Siltepecana, also known as Silver Monstera, is a beautiful climbing plant that's native to Central and South America. When grown on a moss pole, it receives the support it needs and is encouraged to exhibit mature leaf growth. Here's a simple care guide to help you ensure your Monstera Siltepecana thrives:
Light: Monstera Siltepecana prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to too much direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves, while too little light can slow its growth and decrease the size of the leaves.
Water: It's best to water this plant when the top 1-2 inches of the soil feel dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater it, as this can lead to root rot.
Temperature: Monstera Siltepecana prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Ensure you keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as these can be detrimental to the plant.
Humidity: This plant thrives in high humidity. Regular misting, placing it on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier can help increase humidity levels.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one with perlite, orchid bark, or coarse sand to promote drainage.
Feeding: Feed your Monstera Siltepecana every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the dormant period (fall and winter).
Moss pole care: Ensure the moss pole remains slightly damp. This not only aids the climbing habit of the plant but also increases the local humidity.
Remember, each plant is unique and may require slightly different care. Keep an eye on your plant and adjust care as needed. Enjoy nurturing your Monstera Siltepecana on its moss pole!
