About This Product
Monstera may be the perfect houseplant for you if you're looking to create a big, bold, tropical feel in your home. It features big wide leaves that look like they have holes or cuts in them, giving rise to two of its other common names: Swiss cheese plant and split-leaf philodendron (while monstera is not a type of philodendron, it is closely related to them). Grow monstera just about anywhere in your house. It tolerates low light, but grows faster and becomes more dramatic in a bright spot. In most areas, it can take some direct sun on its leaves when grown in the house. Water monstera regularly enough to keep the soil from drying out. The plant is somewhat drought tolerant, so you don't need to worry about keeping up with the watering all time. It's a survivor.

Questions & Answers
I have a red Congo philodendron that has thrived in the bright indirect light of my south-facing window. Wouid that same light work for the monstera ?
Yes. If your Congo Red is thriving there, a monstera will also do well in the same bright, indirect south-facing light. Just keep it out of harsh, direct midday sun.
What is the deco weave planter, that is an option with some plants, made of?
It is a decorative basket that a plant in a grower pot can be placed into.
Can this be a outside plant as well as indoor plant
Yes, Monstera Deliciosa can be both an indoor and outdoor plant. Indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Outdoors, it can grow in tropical or subtropical climates (Zones 10-12) with some shade. Just bring it indoors if temperatures drop below freezing.
Yes, the Monstera can be grown outdoors in the shade in frost-free regions. It thrives indoors in most locations but can also be placed outside in a shady spot, as long as the temperature doesn't drop below freezing.

I bought a couple of plants at my local Home Depot a week ago. I just noticed they are styrofoam All over the top of the soil. What’s the purpose of it?
To keep the soil moist during transit so the plant does not dry out.
Hi Jane! Thank you for reaching out! We do not use any styrofoam in our soil mixes. This could be perlite or fertilizer. For the best advice, please reach out to us at questions@costafarms.com.
