RARE Monstera Laniata Mint 4" Pot

The Monstera Laniata is a rare and elegant variety of the Monstera family, admired for its elongated, glossy green leaves adorned with natural fenestrations. Its vining nature makes it perfect for hanging baskets, trellises, or moss poles, allowing its striking foliage to cascade or climb beautifully. This tropical plant is an excellent choice for adding a touch of the jungle to your indoor space.

Monstera Laniata Care Tips:

1. Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth may slow.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining soil mix that retains moisture but prevents waterlogging. A blend of coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark works well for aeration and root health.

3. Watering:

Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.

4. Humidity:

Prefers high humidity levels (60-80%). Use a humidifier or mist the plant occasionally to replicate its natural tropical environment.

5. Temperature:

Keep in a warm location between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

6. Fertilization:

Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.

7. Support:

Provide a moss pole, trellis, or other support for the Monstera Laniata to climb, enhancing its natural growth pattern and fenestration development.

8. Pruning and Maintenance:

Prune as needed to control its size and remove yellow or damaged leaves. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free.

9. Propagation:

Propagate through stem cuttings with at least one node. Root cuttings in water or moist soil before transferring to a pot.
