Default Nursery Pot or Upgrade to a Chic Chive Pot
Our plants come in the standard nursery pot unless you opt for one of our snazzy Chive pots. Keep in mind, each plant is a unique snowflake—size, shape, and quirks may vary. We do our best to deliver a plant that resembles the online glam shot and will thrive in your home, but perfection is a tall order.
Pot Size vs. Plant Size: It’s Not You, It’s the Container
We like to keep things almost simple—plants are measured by the size of the pot they’re in, not how tall or fabulous they currently are. When someone says a plant is “in a 6-inches,” they’re talking about the diameter of the container, not the plant itself. That gorgeous fiddle leaf fig might be towering over your sofa while technically still being “in a 10-inch pot.” Height? Totally subjective. It depends on the plant species, its mood that day, and how mature it feels like being. So next time you’re plant shopping and wondering why your “small” monstera could double as a room divider—blame the pot. Not the plant.

How to take care of your Monstera
Let’s be real—if houseplants had celebrity status, the Monstera plant would be on the red carpet. Known for its iconic split leaves and bold tropical flair, the Monstera deliciosa (yes, that’s its full name) is the Instagram darling of the plant world. And guess what? It’s not just good-looking—it’s also surprisingly easy to care for.
Care Level
Easy: Low Maintenance
Monstera is basically the cool, chill roommate of the plant world—but with just enough quirks to keep you on your toes. It’s low-maintenance once established, but it does expect a little effort to stay fabulous. Think: not quite “set it and forget it,” but definitely not a diva either. Great for beginners ready to level up or plant parents who remember to water... most of the time.
Light Requirements
Monsteras are tropical climbers, which means they love bright, indirect light. Think of the dappled light they’d get through a rainforest canopy. That’s the vibe.
- Ideal light: Bright, indirect sunlight
- Tolerates: Moderate light
- Avoid: Direct sunlight (it scorches leaves), or deep shade (it stunts growth)
If your Monstera’s leaves aren't splitting, it might not be getting enough light. Move it closer to a bright window (but not in full sun), and watch the drama unfold—in a good way.
Watering
Monsteras like their soil to be moist, but not soggy. They hate having wet feet as much as you do.
- Water when: The top 2 inches of soil feel dry
- Frequency: Every 7–10 days during growing season, less in winter
- Pro tip: Always use a pot with drainage holes—Monsteras don’t want to sit in a swamp
Too much water = yellowing leaves and root rot. Too little = dry, crispy edges.
Humidity and Temperature
As a tropical plant, the Monstera thrives in a warm, slightly humid environment.
- Ideal temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C)
- Humidity: 50% or higher is preferred, but it tolerates average indoor levels
If your air is dry (especially in winter), mist your Monstera occasionally, use a humidifier, or group it with other plants for a micro-humid zone.
Soil
Chunky, well-draining soil; mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite is ideal. They’re jungle royalty.
Interaction with Pets
Short answer: Nope.
The Monstera plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
Symptoms in pets include:
- Mouth irritation
- Drooling
- Vomiting
- Difficulty swallowing
If you’ve got curious pets, keep your Monstera out of their reach—or consider a pet-safe alternative like a parlor palm or calathea.
Monstera Family
The Monstera plant is a tropical species native to Central America, known for its dramatic, fenestrated leaves—aka the famous natural “holes” that earned it the nickname Swiss cheese plant. The most common variety, Monstera deliciosa, can grow massive indoors with the right care, turning any corner into an indoor rainforest.
Other Monsteras, like the trendy Monstera adansonii, bring a slightly smaller but equally striking look. And despite the name “deliciosa,” no, you can’t eat it—more on that in the pet safety section.
The Self-Watering Pot Who’s More Responsible Than Most Roommates
Remembering to water your plants is a noble goal, but life happens (and sometimes Netflix just won’t pause itself). Stylish, smart, and suspiciously more nurturing than your last situationship. Ryan the self-watering pot has a built-in reservoir that keeps your green buddy hydrated without you having to lift a finger—Making sure your plant stays alive even when you forget it exists. Finally, a Ryan you can actually trust.
Feed Your Plants Like You Actually Know What You’re Doing
Your plants called—they're tired of your "just water and hope" approach. Give themVerteRx, the premium plant food packed with vitamins and growth boosters. Stronger roots, lusher leaves, and fewer judgmental stares from your fiddle-leaf fig. Because even plants deserve proper nutrition (unlike your diet).
