Grow a Thriving Monstera Siltepecana

The Monstera Siltepecana, also known as the Silver Monstera, is a beautiful plant that is relatively easy to care for. Here are some tips to help you give your Monstera Siltepecana the best possible care:

Light

The Monstera Siltepecana prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so it is best to keep the plant near a window where it can receive plenty of light, but not direct sun.

Water

The Monstera Siltepecana likes to have evenly moist soil. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Do not let the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.

Humidity

The Monstera Siltepecana enjoys high humidity, so it is a good idea to mist the plant regularly. You can also place a tray of water near the plant to increase the humidity around it.

Fertilizer

Fertilize the Monstera Siltepecana once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the winter months, as the plant will not be actively growing.

Propagation

The Monstera Siltepecana can be propagated by stem cuttings. Take a cutting that has at least one node (where a leaf attaches to the stem), and place it in water or soil. Keep the soil moist or change the water every few days until roots begin to develop.

By following these tips, you can keep your Monstera Siltepecana healthy and thriving!
