Summary: A Monstera plant typically grows a new leaf every 2-3 weeks.
How often do Monstera grow new leaves?
One of the most well-known houseplants, Monstera plants are known for their large, glossy leaves. These plants are native to Central and South America, where they grow up to 30 feet tall in the wild. In cultivation, they are typically much smaller, but can still reach up to 10 feet tall.
Monstera plants are relatively easy to care for, and will do well in most homes with bright, indirect light. They prefer to be kept on the drier side, so be sure to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These plants are also fairly tolerant of neglect, so if you forget to water them for a week or two, they will likely survive. During the spring and summer months, you can expect your Monstera plant to put out new growth every 4-6 weeks. This growth may be in the form of new leaves, or in some cases, flowers.
A well-cared-for Monstera plant will have lots of new growth during the active growing season. To encourage new growth, be sure to fertilize your plant on a regular basis. A good rule of thumb is to fertilize once a month during the spring and summer, and every other month during the fall and winter. Use a balanced fertilizer that is formulated for houseplants, and follow the directions on the package.
