Monstera plants continue to be among the most popular houseplants
Growing a Monstera plant from seed can be a rewarding and exciting experience
Once your seeds arrive you will need to germinate them quickly
The Monstera seeds do not have a very long shelf life and they have already been stressed and dried out from shipping
THE SOAKING METHOD
Fill a small container with warm tap water and place seeds in the container
After 12-24 hours plant your seeds into a small pot
Keep in a bright area but not in hot direct sunlight
After 2-3 weeks a small monstera start will emerge from the soil
PAPER TOWEL METHOD
Lay the seeds on the paper towel, overlap and cover
Spritz until the seeds and paper towel are moist
Place in a brightly lit area, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and keep moist
Seeds should sprout within 2-4 days
MINI GREENHOUSE WITH PEAT PODS
This involves a small plastic container with peat pods in it that you plant the seeds in
Once the seeds have soaked, they can be planted directly into the peat moss
The container comes with a plastic lid that snaps on and provides humidity for the seedlings
Monsteras grow at different rates from seedlings, but they all seem to be hardy little plants
2 weeks seems to be the minimum time needed before you will see a sprout
The plants pictured are 3 months, and 1.5 months old
