However, it is important to not overwater these plants, as this can also result in root rot. Water your monstera plants only when the top inch or two of the soil is dry to the touch.

Tip #4 Fertilizer: Monstera plants require a balanced fertilizer routine. They need a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer label and not to overdo it! Overfertilizing can also lead to root stress and poor growth.
