4” Monstera Siltepecana

Monstera Siltepecana, commonly known as the "Silver Monstera," is a tropical houseplant appreciated for its unique, silver-striped foliage. Here are some care tips:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter.

3. Humidity: Monstera Siltepecana thrives in high humidity. Use a humidity tray or mist the plant to maintain moisture levels.

4. Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid drafts and sudden temperature drops.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn't become soggy.

6. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. Pruning: Trim leggy growth to encourage bushier, fuller growth.

8. Support: Provide a moss pole or trellis for the plant to climb as it matures.

9. Repotting: Repot when the roots become root-bound, typically every 2-3 years.

10. Pests: Watch for common houseplant pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Address any infestations promptly.

With proper care, Monstera Siltepecana can be a stunning addition to your indoor plant collection.
