Mountain Crest Gardens Monstera Dubia

Yes, this plant is a shingler, meaning it needs a vertical surface to climb. A wooden plank or a moss pole works best, as it allows the plant to attach itself and encourages the leaves to flatten out against the support.

No, the Monstera Dubia is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that your pets cannot access, such as a high shelf or a room they don't frequent.

The key is providing a consistent, sturdy support structure and bright, indirect light. As the plant climbs higher and matures, the leaves will naturally increase in size and become more pronounced in their shingled pattern.

It thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the speckled leaves, but ensure it gets enough light to maintain its variegation and steady growth.

Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Because it is a tropical climber, it appreciates consistent moisture but will suffer if left sitting in water, so ensure your pot has proper drainage.
