Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos

Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.

I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected

Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Monstera Broken Heart

The Monstera Broken Heart is a tropical climbing vine known for its distinctive leaves that feature natural holes or 'windows'—a trait that gives it both its common name and scientific name (Monstera Adansonii). Native to Central and South America, this plant has adapted well to indoor environments in India's tropical climate. Its leaves start whole and develop the characteristic splits as they mature, creating an ever-changing display of foliage. This plant is perfect for adding a touch of the exotic to your home without requiring the space of its larger relative, the Monstera Deliciosa. In Indian homes, it's often placed in living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices where its trailing vines can cascade from shelves or hang from ceilings, creating a dramatic vertical element.

Light & Placement

Monstera Broken Heart thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions. The ideal placement is near an east or north-facing window where morning sunlight is gentle and filtered. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and cause brown patches. In Indian homes, this means positioning the plant a few feet away from windows that receive harsh afternoon sun. The plant can adapt to lower light conditions, but growth may slow, and the characteristic leaf splits may not develop as prominently. For best results, rotate your plant occasionally to ensure even growth on all sides. This versatile plant can be displayed in hanging baskets, placed on high shelves, or trained to climb a moss pole, making it adaptable to various interior styles and spaces.

Watering & Humidity

Water your Monstera Broken Heart when the top inch of soil feels completely dry. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, but adjust based on your home's temperature and humidity. When watering, do so thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then allow excess water to drain completely. Overwatering is the most common issue with this plant, so ensure the pot has good drainage. Monstera Broken Heart appreciates moderate humidity levels, making it well-suited for India's tropical climate. In drier environments or during air-conditioned months, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help maintain humidity. This plant is relatively forgiving if you occasionally forget to water, but consistent underwatering can cause leaves to curl and yellow.

Pet Safety & Toxicity

Monstera Broken Heart contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by pets or humans. The sap may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, so it's advisable to wear gloves when pruning or repotting. For pet owners in India, this means placing the plant in areas inaccessible to cats and dogs who might chew on leaves. While not highly toxic, ingestion can cause symptoms like oral irritation, excessive drooling, and difficulty swallowing. If you suspect your pet has consumed part of the plant, monitor them closely and consult a veterinarian if symptoms persist. Many plant lovers in India still enjoy this beautiful plant by simply placing it out of reach of their furry companions, enjoying its air-purifying benefits without worry.

Care steps

  1. Choose location. Place in bright, indirect light away from direct sunlight. East or north-facing windows work best.
  2. Water properly. Water when top soil is dry, thoroughly until drainage occurs. Avoid letting the plant sit in water.
  3. Maintain humidity. Prefers moderate humidity. Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray in dry conditions or air-conditioned rooms.
  4. Fertilize occasionally. Feed with balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 months during growing season. Reduce in winter.
  5. Prune regularly. Trim yellow or damaged leaves to encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp scissors.
  6. Repot when needed. Repot every 1-2 years or when roots appear through drainage holes. Use well-draining soil mix.
