The Plant That Stole My Feed (And My Heart)

If there’s one plant that screams “I’ve got style and I know it”, it’s the Monstera Deliciosa. This is not a wallflower—it’s a showstopper. I remember walking into a friend’s apartment in Chicago and immediately asking, “Is that a jungle or your living room?” She laughed and said, “Nope, just my Monstera.”

Those big, glossy leaves with their signature splits and holes? Instant tropical vibes, even if you’re stuck in a high-rise in New York or Dallas. It’s like bringing a piece of Bali right into your home.

Light? Let’s Keep It Indirect

Now, don’t get me wrong—this beauty isn’t totally low-maintenance like the Snake Plant. But it’s not high-maintenance either. Think of it as that confident friend who looks effortlessly put together. The Monstera Deliciosa prefers medium to bright indirect light, so a spot near a window with sheer curtains works perfect.

I tried putting mine in direct sunlight once—bad idea. Burned leaves in less than a day. So yeah, indirect is the way to go.

How to Make It Thrive Indoors

One thing I love about this plant is how well it adapts to indoor environments. As long as you’re not keeping it in total darkness, it’ll do just fine. I keep mine in a corner with filtered light, and it still grows like crazy.

Also, if you’re into propagation (and let’s be real, who isn’t these days?), the Monstera is super easy to grow from cuttings. Just snip off a stem with a node and pop it in water or soil. In a few weeks, boom—you’ve got a brand-new plant to gift or add to another room.

Stylish Enough for Pinterest & Instagram

Honestly, this plant is everywhere on social media for a reason. Its bold look makes it a favorite among interior designers, influencers, and DIYers alike. Whether you’re styling a minimalist space or going full jungle-chic, the Monstera adds instant visual impact.

I styled mine with a woven basket and a neutral-toned couch—and yes, I took ten photos for Instagram. Worth it.
