Greetings, iam Patricia Martin, I bid you good day, sir/ma’am.
Whoa, when a monstera gets big, it’s something to behold! It’s like watching a time-lapse of a plant growing right before your eyes. From its small beginnings as a tiny seedling, it quickly grows into an impressive specimen with large glossy leaves and aerial roots that can reach up to 10 feet in length. It’s truly amazing how fast this tropical beauty can grow!
What Happens When Monstera Gets Too Big? [Solved]
When it comes to monstera, the roots grow just as quickly as the plant itself. So if you want to keep them in check, just give ’em a trim! Pull the plant out of its pot and brush off any excess soil. Then grab your gardening shears and snip away up to a third of the roots’ length. Finally, pop it back in some fresh soil and you’re good to go!
Size: Monstera plants can grow up to 6 feet tall and wide, making them a great choice for larger spaces.
Light: Monstera plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions as well.
Watering: Water your Monstera plant when the top inch of soil is dry and water deeply until water runs out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.
Fertilizer: Feed your Monstera plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during its growing season (spring through fall).
Pruning: Prune your Monstera plant regularly to keep it from getting too big or unruly and to encourage new growth and branching out from the main stem.
Repotting: Repot your Monstera every two years or so in order to provide it with fresh soil and more room for growth as it gets bigger over time.
When it comes to Monstera plants, they sure do get big! Before you know it, you’ll have a huge one on your hands. It’s amazing how quickly they grow - whoa!
