You’ve seen the Monstera Dubia on Instagram, and you may have even considered buying one of these unique plants. But how do they live? What’s their story?
I love my monstera dubia! It’s perfect for beginner gardeners because it’s easy to grow, doesn’t require a lot of sunlight, and has attractive foliage.
If you’re looking for a houseplant that doesn’t need too much light, Monstera Dubia is a perfect choice. It’s also easy to care for and grows well indoors or outside in the partial shade.
The Monstera is a creeping vine with small, heart-shaped leaves with light and dark green colors. Often called the shingle plant, this growth is unique among many tropical plants by being surprisingly easy to grow and maintain.
The Monstera is known for its ability to adapt to growing conditions. It prefers warm temperatures and can handle frosty nights if it’s grown indoors or in a greenhouse. If it gets too cold outdoors, it will still survive, but it will take longer to grow back than other vines that can tolerate colder temperatures.
Monstera Dubia is a tropical plant that grows in hot, humid climates. It is a popular houseplant in the United States because it can tolerate heat and humidity. Monstera Dubia can be grown indoors or outdoors, but it prefers bright light and warm temperatures.
The plant needs constant moisture to thrive. Water the plant every two weeks with room-temperature water. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely between watering; instead use room temperature water to moisten the soil until it drains out of the pot. If you notice your plant has wilted or appears stressed, reduce watering until it recovers.
Monstera Dubia can also be grown by using a container as a planter, which allows you to move the plant around as needed without disturbing its roots. A planter should have drainage holes at the bottom so excess water can drain away quickly; Fill with soil and place your plant in the center of the container before placing it upside down on its side (or whatever position is best for you). Add more soil around your plant as needed so there are no gaps between it and the walls of its container.
Monstera Dubia is a common houseplant, but it’s also one of the easiest to grow. You can start your Monstera Dubia off in a pot, but if you have enough space, you can plant it outdoors!
You’ll want to make sure that your Monstera gets plenty of light. It should be planted in full sun or at least partial shade (if it’s going to get too hot). If you don’t have any natural shade, consider planting your Monstera Dubia near an eastern-facing window—this will help it get the most sunlight possible.
If you’re thinking about planting your Monstera Dubia outside in your garden, use twine or wire to keep it from falling over. The size of the pot will determine how tall your Monstera Dubia needs to be so that it won’t topple over.
Monstera Dubia can grow up to 20 feet tall when left unchecked (but usually doesn’t reach this height). It prefers temperatures between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and between 55 and 70°F at night.
There are a few other advantages to growing Monstera Dubia, besides the fact that they’re so easy:
