Monstera Dubia, also known as the Shingle Plant, is a unique and visually appealing member of the Monstera family. Follow this comprehensive guide to ensure the optimal growth and health of your Monstera Dubia.

Light:

• Filtered Light: Monstera Dubia prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, providing ample filtered sunlight encourages better growth and leaf development. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day.

Temperature:

• Warm Temperatures: Maintain a temperature range between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Monstera Dubia thrives in warm and humid conditions. Protect it from drafts and temperature extremes.

Humidity:

• High Humidity: Monstera Dubia benefits from higher humidity levels. Regular misting, using a humidifier, or placing a tray of water nearby can create a more favorable environment.

Watering:

• Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 1-2 inches of the soil feels slightly dry. Adjust the watering frequency based on the season and humidity levels.

Soil:

• Well-Draining Mix: Plant Monstera Dubia in a well-draining potting mix. A blend of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark provides good aeration and drainage. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

Container:

• Supportive Structure: Monstera Dubia tends to climb and attach itself to trees in its natural habitat. Provide a support structure like a moss pole or trellis for vertical growth. This enhances the unique shingle-like arrangement of the leaves.

Fertilizing:

• Balanced Liquid Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter.

Pruning:

• Minimal Pruning: Trim yellow or damaged leaves as needed. Pruning can help manage the size and shape of the plant. Monstera Dubia typically requires minimal intervention.

Propagation:
