How to grow Monstera – Sunlight
Make sure to place the Monstera in a spot with bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can stunt growth.

Never overwater it
Watering the Monstera should be done carefully. While it is a plant of the rainforests, at home, excess watering will result in root rot.
Canva
Cut off the yellow leaves
Even in Monstera, pruning is very important. So, from time to time cut off or trim any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy.

Support through sticks
Being a heavy plant with large leaves, Monstera needs support for their growth. Try installing some wood sticks or moss poles to keep the plant upright.
