Basic Care for Monstera Adansonii ‘Mint Variegated’:
1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch and fading variegation.
2. Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot.
3. Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (above 60%). Use a humidifier or mist the plant if indoor air is dry.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with organic matter. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve aeration and drainage.
6. Fertilizer: Feed every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
7. Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain health and encourage growth.
8. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its current container to refresh the soil and allow space for root growth.
