About trees
Monstera 'Medusa' gets its character from being a climbing vine that uses aerial roots to attach to surfaces, with leaves that enlarge or develop fenestrations when given suitable age and conditions; it belongs to the Araceae family. Its selected-cultivar name distinguishes its horticultural character from the base species, while its mature color and form still depend on growing conditions. Arranging it so that new growth and the front of the leaves are visible allows these changes to be appreciated fully. Leaf color, thickness, and size may change with the plant's age, light levels, and root health.
To develop a balanced canopy, provide bright indirect light, a coarse airy growing medium, and a support for the stem to climb. Check the medium before every watering and avoid moving the plant abruptly from shade into intense sun. It is suitable for creating vertical structure and a tropical-forest atmosphere through its distinctive foliage. Keeping the area around the base or clump clean and leaving room for air or water to move through will help new leaves unfurl fully and make the plant easier to maintain.
