In today's video, I'll teach you how to grow Monstera deliciosa, also known as Adam's Rib. It has beautiful foliage with dark green jagged leaves, and is famous in Urban Jungle or urban forests. It is a great option for a plant to grow indoors.
--------------------------------------------------------
Let's start with some interesting facts about this plant: the popular name, Adam's Rib, comes from the shape of the leaves, which are all jagged, resembling a rib.
The scientific name, Monstera deliciosa, is due to the fruit of this species, which is said to be delicious. Even Princess Isabel of Brazil said it was her favorite fruit. But Adam's Rib rarely produces fruit if grown in pots; this happens more in its natural habitat.
This beautiful plant is native to the warm forests of Central America. The holes in the leaves appear as the leaves grow. But be careful, if you have an Adam's Rib and the leaves are not perforated, it is possible that this plant is lacking light, so place it closer to a window so that it receives more natural light.
The Adam's Rib should be grown in partial shade or in a shady environment but with plenty of light. As I mentioned, preferably near a window or a glass door that has plenty of light.
The soil should be kept slightly moist but never soaked. You can also spray water on the leaves, because in addition to humidity being beneficial for the plant, it will help keep the leaves cleaner.
Use a substrate rich in organic matter, very loose and drainable.
The Adam's Rib is not demanding when it comes to fertilization, but you can add worm humus or bird manure to the pot every four months and turn the soil over a little.
To make seedlings, cut a cutting that has at least 3 leaves or nodes and between nodes, preferably with roots. Place it to root in water or directly in the pot and keep the soil slightly moist until it roots.
To plant in a pot, make drainage layers, place a substrate bed, position the plant and fill with more substrate. Water immediately afterwards.
