Монстера из семейства Ароидных в природных conditions произрастает
in the rainforests of equatorial america and reaches large
sizes.

AT домашних conditions эта лиана, если не обрезать ее, вырастает до
6 meters.

Monstera has become popular among lovers of indoor floriculture,
thanks to its bizarre appearance and unpretentiousness.

Caring for her is quite simple and even for beginners.

In addition to the decorative function, it also benefits – it ionizes
room air.

Among the wide variety of monster species for growing in
комнатных conditions пригодны такие:

Монстера деликатесная или прекрасная
fast-growing liana with dissected dark green leaves.
Young leaves are whole heart-shaped. Adult plant with

after ripening to taste similar to ripe pineapple. Also derived
variegated form of this species.

have a heart-shaped form, with a diameter of up to 30 cm.

Монстера косая — лиана родом из Бразилии.
Leaves elliptical with oblong perforation on the short
petioles. It blooms with a small cob length up to 4 cm.

Monstera propagated by seed, lateral processes, stem
cuttings.

в комнатных conditions монстера очень редко цветет и получить
seed material is quite problematic. If all the same

and sand and germinated in a bright place at + 20-25 ° C. Shoots
appear in 14-30 days. After regrowth of this leaflet
carry out a picking of plants. As they grow young monsters
transplanted annually.

Monstera is much easier and easier to reproduce.

At the base of the stalk, monsters grow lateral shoots. Spring them
are separated, the sections are dried and powdered with cinnamon powder or
charcoal. After this treatment, the plants are planted in
prepared soil. At the bottom of the planting containers must fill
drainage, then peat or humus soil, and the last layer –
coarse sand. Maintain room temperature
+ 20-25 ° C. Landings covered with transparent bags or placed under
glass jars. Periodically, the cuttings are airing and moisturizing.
The emergence of new shoots indicates a successful process
rooting.

Baldish Vine:

• The upper air roots are wrapped in moist sphagnum, and
over a cloth or a porous material.

• Moss is often moisturized and made sure that the room is not
drafts. Instead of moss, you can drop the air root in the tank with
water

• In a humid environment, the air root forms a “washcloth” of small
rootlets.

• After that, the top of the stem is cut and put in a pot,
deepening the roots entirely into the soil.

• If you plant a stalk to the old plant, the young leaves
cover the bare trunk.

Air roots in jars of water increase additional
roots

Root stem cuttings can also be in the water, adding to it
activated carbon tablet. Water should be changed once a week to
fresh. After regrowth of the roots, the stalk is put in a pot with
ground and caring as an adult plant.

Important! Monstera juice is poisonous and can cause
dermatitis of the skin and mucosal irritation. Therefore, when grafting
(when juice is released) use gloves.

Transfer

Monstera transplant frequency depends on her age: young
specimens (up to 3-4 years) – every spring, older vines (from 5 years)
один раз в 3-4 года (в период между transferми подсыпают свежий
substrate). In pots, good drainage is required.

Lighting

Monstere needs a bright, but diffused light – as in
conditions тропического леса. The lack of light has
strong influence on the vine: new leaves grow small, on them
there are no cuts and holes, aerial roots are weakened and
become thinner. Especially strongly variegated types of monsteras –
they lose their color and become completely green.

Air temperature and humidity

The optimum temperature for monstera is + 20-25ºС in the summer and
+ 16-18ºС in the winter. The active vegetation of the vine begins at + 16ºС.
Humidity is also important for the normal development of the monstera. Her
Do not place near heating appliances. Frequently
spray the plant and the leaves wipe off the dust with a damp sponge or
a rag.

The soil

Monsters need fertile, loose soil with a neutral or
slightly acid reaction (pH 5.5-6.0). Substrate can be made
independently: to the mixture turf (3 parts) and deciduous land (1
part) add an equal volume of peat, humus, sand (1: 1: 1). AT
garden stores you can buy ready-made soil mixtures for Aroid,
for example, from the series Auriki Gardens, Biomaster, Seliger-Agro.

Условия for flowering

Из всех видов монстер, выращиваемых в домашних conditions,
can only bloom monstera delicacy. The flower represents her
a cob with a white and cream bract veil. When ripe
fruits are colored purple, have a taste of ripe pineapple.

Monstera Blossom

In order for the monstera to blossom, it is necessary to create conditions close to
tropical climate:

• Scattered intense lighting;

• Increased air humidity: spray the plant frequently,
especially in the summer, warm settled water;

• The soil должна быть плодородной и рыхлой;

• Suitable planting capacity – adult plant in
close pot will stop in growth and will not bloom;

• The higher the air temperature, the faster the monstera grows;

• ATоздушные корни отрезать нельзя — их надо направлять в горшок:
they provide extra nutrition to the plant.

Watering

In winter, the monster is watered 1 time in 10-15 days. March to August
watering increase. ATажно не допускать переувлажнения почвы,
especially if there is a small plant in a large pot: soil at
overflow sour and possibly rotting roots.

Feeding

Monstera is fed from April to August twice a month.
Complex mineral fertilizers are used as universal
and for green leaf plants (Pokon, Uniflor, Compo, Greenworld,
Good power, Gumat, etc.). With a lack of nutrients
the plant stops growing. Organic fertilizer can
make in the form of mulch substrate leaf humus. Root
dressing well alternate with foliar.

Support

Monstera is a vine that needs support. AT природе эту роль
perform tree trunks. AT комнатных conditions в качестве опоры в
a pot of plants put up a steady stick, rigid mesh
tubes, pull cords. It is necessary to form a stalk of monstera with
�“Infancy”, otherwise it will be more difficult later: as
when growing, the stem of the liana becomes stiff, loses its flexibility.

Polishing

After spraying the leaves with water or insecticide solutions and
fertilizers, they often have a dull appearance. To restore the former shine
plant leaves are treated with special polishing sprays
(Perfect Plant, Spring). If you do not trust “chemistry”, then from home
means a good result gives rubbing leaves with a mixture of water with
milk in proportions of 1: 1 (a rag or cotton pad should be
wet and well wrung out so that stains do not remain), internal
side of the banana peel.

Монстера в домашних conditions: почему он погибает?

With proper care, monstera rarely suffers from pests and
diseases.

With a massive lesion, the plant is sprayed with insecticides (Admiral,

In this case, you need to remove the plant from the pot, pruning rotten
roots and transplant into a smaller container.

Mass blanching, yellowing and desiccation of the monster leaves during
moderate soil moisture is observed with a lack of nutrition.

If the monstera began to “cry Yaroslavna” (the leaves flow
water droplets), this suggests that the soil is unnecessarily overmoistened.
The plant thus gets rid of excess moisture. This process
peculiar to many tropical plants and called guttation. AT
In this case, it is necessary to adjust the irrigation and temperature
mode. Before the next watering, the soil in the pot should dry to
half volume.

With a lack of moisture, only the lower leaves turn yellow, and new ones
grow small and dark.

With a lack of nutrition and keeping the monster in the shade, she
stops growing, leaves do not open or grow
whole and small. To have dissected leaves, it is necessary to vine
rearranged to a brighter place and feed. Besides,
