It seems there might be a slight confusion. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there isn't a plant commonly known as "Monstera Broken Heart." However, there is a popular houseplant called "Monstera adansonii" that is commonly referred to as the "Swiss Cheese Vine" or "Monkey Mask." If "Monstera Broken Heart" is a new variety or name that has emerged after my last update, I recommend checking with local nurseries or plant retailers for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
If you have a Monstera adansonii with leaves resembling a broken heart, it's possible that it's a unique cultivar or variety. Here are general care tips for Monstera adansonii:
Light:
- Provide bright, indirect light. Monstera adansonii can tolerate lower light conditions but thrives in medium to bright, indirect sunlight.
Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings.
Humidity:
- Maintain moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the plant or placing a humidity tray nearby.
Temperature:
- Keep temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid exposing the plant to drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil:
- Use well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Aroid or tropical plant mixes work well.
Fertilization:
- Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter.
Support:
- Monstera adansonii is a vining plant that benefits from support. Provide a trellis or moss pole for it to climb.
Pruning:
- Prune to control the size and encourage bushier growth. Remove yellow or damaged leaves.
If "Monstera Broken Heart" is indeed a new variety or name, I recommend consulting with a local plant expert, nursery, or reliable online plant community for specific care instructions tailored to that variety.
