Congratulations! Your Monstera is forming aerial roots. As a climbing, tropical plant, Monstera will grow aerial roots that will help it climb higher in the tropical canopy and absorb nutrients. Feel free to mist them or prune them.

Fertilize your Monstera about twice a month during the growing season (spring/summer) and monthly during the fall/winter.

• Using a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20) should be more than appropriate for the monstera.
•  

We recommend repotting large floor plants every 18-24 months during the growing season (when the plant is strongest).

• Choose a potting vessel that is 2-4 inches larger in diameter than the previous pot
• Don't choose a pot way larger as this could drown the plant roots
• If you want to keep your plant small and stunt its growth, repot into the same vessel with new soil and trim away some of the roots/foliage

Splitting leaves in Monstera generally occurs in more mature plants with ideal conditions. 99.9% our 10"+ sized Monstera have splitting leaves so no need to worry. Encourage splitting by:

• Provide ample sunlight (can take full sun in North America and be placed outdoors in the summer)
• Water and fertilize regularly
• Tip* push the aerial roots into the soil to encourage it to take up more nutrients

Monstera can grow leaves over 2+ feet long and 8+ feet tall. If you want to keep your plant small, prune it back. They are extremely hardy plants and can handle trimming with ease (especially in the Summer).

• "Train" your monstera using stakes to grow it in the direction you want
• If you are cutting it back, cut it off at a node and propagate the stem so now you have TWO monstera!
