- Water: Water the Swiss Cheese Plant once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on the environmental conditions and the moisture needs of the plant.
- Temperature: The Swiss Cheese Plant prefers prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It can withstand temperatures down to 55°F (13°C), but prolonged exposure to cooler temperatures should be avoided.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture without becoming overly soggy. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil can provide adequate drainage. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
- Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed Monstera adansonii every two to four weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Dilute the fertilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions to avoid overfertilization, which can damage the plant.
- Humidity: Swiss Cheese Vines appreciate higher humidity levels. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water. This helps create a more favorable environment, particularly in drier climates or during the winter months when indoor air tends to be drier.
