MONSTERA

Discovered in the wild in the 19th century, Monstera became a favorite in Europe during the Victorian era, admired for its exotic appeal and distinctive leaf form. Over the years, it has become a staple in both interior design and floristry, symbolizing modernity and tropical luxury. Today, its leaves are not only used fresh in arrangements but are also celebrated as design motifs in fashion, art, and décor.

Moist, rich, well-draining soil. Prefers indirect but bright light; too much direct sun may scorch leaves. Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season and reduce watering in cooler months. Benefits from high humidity and occasional feeding.

Monstera leaves are widely used in floral arrangements, especially tropical and modern designs, where they serve as bold focal greens or backdrops. Beyond floristry, the plant is cherished as a statement houseplant and its iconic leaf silhouette is used in art, textiles, and décor to evoke a tropical, exotic atmosphere.
