Green Galaxy features lovely, large, rigid textural leaves that are almost puckered and corrugated. And to gild the lily, the leaves have a beautiful sheen, an iridescence. The good news for Monstera aficionados is that Green Galaxy is as simple to grow as other Monsteras. Easy.
Like most other houseplants, Monstera sp. Peru is sensitive to overwatering. Always let the top two or three of inches (for small pots) of the potting mix dry before adding more water again. It has relatively thick leaves, which allow it to tolerate drying out for short periods. Overwatering can cause the leaves to go yellow and drop prematurely.
Monstera sp. Peru isn’t a particularly hungry plant, so you can fertilize it in spring and summer if you wish. For faster growth, you can fertilize more frequently. Select a fertilizer formulated for use on houseplants or container plants. Follow the directions on the product packaging, and never use more fertilizer (in terms of quantity or frequency) than the instructions on the product’s packaging recommend.
Pruning typically isn't necessary for this slow-growing vine. You can pinch back the new growth to encourage it to branch and become fuller, rather than focusing its growth from one main shoot.
All monsteras thrive in warm temperatures, so keeping your plant indoors won't be an issue. Their ideal temperature range is 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, which is pretty warm.
