The hole plant is a tropical climbing plant from Central and South America. This popular houseplant can be recognised by its large leaves with deep incisions. Thanks to its strong growth and easy care, it is ideal for lovers of lush greenery at home.
Size: to about 2 metres high and 1.5 metres wide.
Light: this plant does not like direct sunlight, so choose a nice semi-shaded spot in the house for the Monstera.
Water: this tropical plant doesn't need much water. Water it once a week, or every fortnight if it is cooler in the house.
Note: Too much water can damage the roots. You can recognise overwatering by yellow discoloured leaves.
Tip: Mix in about 25-30% extra perlite for even better results.
Usage: Fertilise once or twice a month during the growing period (summer). In winter, additional fertilisation is not necessary.
You can cut a hole plant very easily. Choose a stem with at least one leaf and an aerial root or node (thickening on the stem). Cut the stem just below the knot and put it in a glass of water. Change the water every few days. When the roots are 5 to 10 centimetres after a few weeks, you can put the cutting in a pot with soil. Then, do you want to give root growth an extra boost? Then use the Cellmax root booster.
Did you know that the hole plant has its distinctive holes to catch better light? In tropical rainforests, it often grows under larger plants. Because of the holes, it still catches enough sunlight. And, the holes let wind and rain through more easily, making the leaves less likely to tear.
