Monstera Deliciosa • Frozen Freckles

Please wait while the plant information is loaded.

Light

Bright, indirect light

Watering

Water when top 2 inches of soil are dry

Feeding and fertiliser

Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth at quarter to half strength. Do not fertilise fresh unrooted cuttings.

Potting mix

40% coarse orchid bark, 30% potting mix, 20% perlite, 10% worm castings

Propagation

Node-bearing stem cuttings or air layering

Support notes

Provide a moist moss pole or moss plank to allow aerial roots to anchor. This encourages larger leaves and chunkier nodes.

Additional care notes

Provide support for climbing. Variegated forms need brighter indirect light and may root more slowly than green forms.

Mature size

A vigorous climbing aroid that can reach around 2–3 m indoors when given strong support, with increasingly large and fenestrated leaves as it matures.

Dormancy and winter growth

No true dormancy is normally required indoors. Growth may slow during the darker UK winter, so reduce watering and feeding in line with the plant's actual growth rate.
