With any new plant you bring home, there are usually two key factors that might take a while to dial in: One is water, the other is light.
You love your new monstera plant and you want to keep it healthy, so how much light does a monstera plant actually need?
The good news about monstera is that it can survive in a variety of light conditions, but results may vary. Luckily, you can use this to your advantage to grow a smaller or larger plant, or to adapt to the light conditions of your home!
How much light does a monstera need?
Monsteras will need 10-12 hours of light each day, which is ideal during the summer but can be decreased to 8-10 during the winter months but will need an increase in humidity level. Your monstera will also need the light source to remain consistent year-round, so set your schedule accordingly.
If you have an artificial light source, you’ll need to keep it on for at least 12 hours a day.
You can get one for yourself from your local gardening store or online. It’s important that you keep the light close to the plant because monstera plants don’t like their leaves to be over-exposed to sunlight. Too much sunlight will result in leaf burn and/or browning. You will need to check the leaves regularly for signs of burn and use a grow light if necessary.
Grow lights are less expensive than buying a new plant and it’ll keep your monstera healthy and happy! If you have no option but to keep it indoors with artificial light, then here are some good LED grow lights for you.
