\"How<\/p>\n

Monstera or Monstera deliciosa, a lush flowering plant native to Panama and Mexico is one of the easiest to care houseplants, making it ideal for beginners. These plants are also known as Swiss Cheese plants because of the ridges and holes on their mature leaves. But you won\u2019t get these iconic splits if the plant does not receive an ample amount of light. So when you\u2019re raising a beautiful and healthy monstera plant, it\u2019s your duty to give them proper light. But how much light does a monstera plant need? What are the light requirements of Monstera deliciosa? That\u2019s exactly what we will discuss in this article.<\/p>\n

Lighting is one of the most essentials needs of a plant for proper growth and development and it\u2019s no different for Monstera deliciosa. Plants make their food through a process called photosynthesis. They use carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen, which they use as a source of energy. The fertilizer that we add to them isn\u2019t food, but a supplement for healthy growth. Sunlight plays a vital role in photosynthesis. If the plant doesn\u2019t get enough sunlight, it will fail to make food for itself as the roots won\u2019t be able to absorb enough water from the soil. Hence, proper light is a prerequisite when it comes to growing plants.<\/p>\n
