Monstera Pinnatipartita - Actual Plant - 6” Pot - Rare Live Plant

Plant Information

Monstera Pinnatipartita is a rare and lesser-known species of Monstera, known for its unique and intricate leaves. The leaves are deeply lobed and pinnately divided, meaning they have multiple deep cuts that give them a finely dissected appearance. The leaf lobes are typically elongated and narrow. The foliage features beautiful shades of green, displayed dimensionally among its intricate pattern.  As the plant matures, it may fenestrate, which adds to its already-striking appearance. 
 
As monstera mature, generally, they vine or climb, depending on the varietal.  This monstera generally climbs, making it suitable to climb up supports (such as a moss pole).  If it is not anchored to support, it will attractively vine. 
 
Care and Maintenance
 
Remember that each plant is unique, so closely monitor your plant and adjust its care based on its response. By providing the right conditions, you'll be rewarded with a stunning and healthy plant that adds a touch of tropical elegance to your indoor space.
 
Light
Provide bright, indirect light for your monstera. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its coloration will be most pronounced and attractive in moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.
 
Temperature
Maintain a comfortable room temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.  To encourage more rapid growth in your monstera, keep the monstera at the upper end of the recommended range, or even slightly higher.
 
Watering
Water the plant when the top inch or so of the soil feels dry, and be cautious not to overwater, as monstera are sensitive to soggy soil. Water thoroughly when needed, but ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogged roots. 
 
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent overwatering. A mix of regular potting soil, leca, bark, perlite, and peat moss or coconut coir works well.
 
Fertilization
Feed your monstera with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). During growing season, some monstera varietals require heavier feedings or more frequent fertilization. Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the fall and winter when growth slows down.
 
Humidity
Monstera can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, they usually benefit from increased humidity. Misting the plant, running a humidifier or using a humidity tray can help.  Pair increased humidity with increased temperature to encourage growth.
 
Pruning
Trim any yellowing or dead leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage new growth.
 
Potting
Repot your monstera when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its current container. Repotting is best done in the spring.
 
Dusting
Dust can accumulate on the leaves, hindering their ability to absorb light. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth or give the plant a shower occasionally to keep it clean.
 
Pests and Diseases
Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, thrips, aphids, and mealybugs. If you spot any pests, take action promptly with appropriate treatments.
 
Rotation
To ensure even growth and avoid the plant leaning towards the light source, rotate it every couple of weeks.
