It can tolerate most conditions, including direct sunlight, as long as it is not prolonged. However, if it gets too much sunlight, it could become leggy and lose its variation.

    Pothos can be propagated by the cutting of a stem. Simply cut a length from the vine and cut two leaves to around 2"-3". Then, place it in a container of water. It will begin to develop roots very quickly. It is crucial to change the water frequently at least every two weeks. It will establish roots in either water, or the potting soil. Once the root system is established (usually within 4 weeks) then you can move it into a pot using regular pots for houseplants.

    Pothos as with all houseplant s, requires an all-purpose fertilizer to keep it healthy. However, it does not need to be fertilized more often than other houseplants. It is sufficient to feed the plant every month in the spring and summer months.

The Fenestrations (also called lobes or holes) appear on the leaves as they grow. In the wild, Monstera deliciosa produces fruit. However, it's difficult to get this plant to produce fruit in an indoor environment.

    Monsteras are not tolerating cold temperatures, and can die if left out for longer than an hour. They prefer tropical temperatures that are warm and similar to those of their rainforest habitats. This makes them a good choice for a conservatory, or any another spot in the sun that's cool enough to avoid freezing and frost.

    Monsteras are a species of vining plant and use aerial roots to climb through the soil. In the wild, they often attach themselves to rocks or trees after growing along the forest floor for a while. This natural behavior is why many plant owners add a tree or moss pole to their pots as the plant expands.

    The moss pole, which could be made with chicken wire or a piece of sphagnum moss with a long-strand will help aid the plant and allow it to climb instead of escaping from the pot. The pole will also repel pests like sap-sucking aphids, mealybugs, and tiny cigar-shaped thrips that can cause damage to the leaves of the plant.

    To encourage healthy, vigorous growth of the plant, you should repot it regularly and provide it with plenty of bright indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but shouldn't be exposed to harsh sunlight from dawn to sunset. If exposed to house plants common could burn its leaves, and possibly die.
