The Monstera Guide is a resource for plant parents who want to provide the best care for their Monstera Deliciosa, from beginner questions to advanced topics. Houseplants are a hobby that should bring joy and peace to your home, not stress. We’ve done the hard work of sorting through all the advice out there so you can find straightforward, effective tips for all your Monstera questions.
As a new plant parent, when my first Monstera had a leaf turn yellow, I turned to the internet for answers and was completely overwhelmed. Searching through blog posts, Facebook groups, and Reddit threads, I found conflicting information everywhere I looked. One picture of a sick plant lead to comments with multiple opposite diagnoses. To make matters worse, many sources just repeated the same generic “wisdom” without any explanation of why it was true. Misinformation made me doubt my abilities to care for houseplants, and feel as though something that should be simple was too complicated to overcome.
Now, as the owner of more than a dozen variegated Monstera Deliciosa, I’ve experienced all kinds of Monstera problems and found solutions that work. Growing Monstera is my favorite hobby, and I firmly believe that you can make the right choices for your plants without needing a degree in botany. Sometimes, all it takes is for a fellow plant parent to help you tell apart the myths from the facts.
