How to Care for the Plant

Water
How to water a trumpet vine once it's established, trumpet vine watering needs are minimal to moderate. during the summer, it needs about an inch (2.5 cm.) of water per week, which is often taken care of naturally by the rain. if the weather is especially dry, you may need to water it once per week yourself.
Pruning
Trim off any dead leaves and stems.
Fertilizer
When it comes to fertilizers, you want to avoid over-fertilizing (just like an overdose of vitamins isn't great for us, either). Less is more, so it’s important to follow what the package says for application amounts.

Soil
Planting instructions will suggest planting in a sterile potting mix.
Temperature
The Monstera Obliqua will grow in most household temperatures, but a temperature between 65-85℉ is ideal. They can survive in temperatures as low as 50℉, but the cold temperature will stop growth.
