At Odd Leaf, we know Monstera lovers dream of lush, massive leaves that transform their space into a tropical oasis. Whether you’ve got a rare beauty from our Monstera collection or The Rare Collection, growing a Monstera to its full potential is all about giving it the right care. Let’s dive into how you can help your rare houseplant Monstera thrive with tips that bring out those iconic, oversized leaves.
Why Monsteras Are a Collector’s Favorite
Monsteras are the rock stars of rare houseplants, with their dramatic fenestrations and bold variegation. Each plant in our Monstera collection is unique, whether it’s a golden-hued variety or one with creamy white splashes. We showcase every detail so you can pick the one that fits your vibe, and with the right care, it’ll grow into a showstopper.
Tips for Growing a Bigger Monstera
Here’s how to coax those massive leaves from your Monstera:
-
Give It Bright, Indirect Light
Monsteras crave light to fuel growth, especially rare variegated types. Place your plant near a north or east-facing window for filtered sunlight. Too little light? You’ll get smaller leaves. Check out our Monstera collection for varieties that love to shine. -
Water Wisely
Overwatering is a Monstera’s worst enemy. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering. Use a well-draining mix to keep roots happy, and always check your pot has drainage holes. -
Boost with a Moss Pole
Monsteras are climbers by nature. A moss pole encourages upward growth and larger leaves. Our rare Monsteras from The Rare Collection thrive with this support, mimicking their natural habitat. -
Keep Humidity High
Aim for 60% humidity or higher. Mist your Monstera, use a pebble tray, or add a humidifier to mimic the tropics. This is key for those lush, fenestrated leaves. -
Feed for Growth
Use a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during spring and summer. For variegated Monsteras, dilute it to avoid burning delicate leaves. Healthy feeding equals bigger foliage.
A Personal Touch for Your Monstera
At Odd Leaf, we believe every Monstera has its own personality. That’s why we show you the exact plant you’ll get—every variegated splash, every fenestrated leaf. Whether you choose a bold variety or a compact one from our Monstera collection, you’re bringing home a piece of nature that’s uniquely yours.
