Monstera: The Green Lungs of Your Home That Could Improve Your Sleep?
A personal tip and quality guarantee from owner Monika: "A lot of people ask me where's the best place to put a Monstera. My answer might surprise you: my husband and I keep two large ones right in our bedroom. Thanks to its giant leaves, the Monstera works as a natural humidifier. At night it releases moisture and absorbs toxins (like formaldehyde). I've slept much better ever since! I also personally guarantee that all our houseplants are sourced from the Dutch flower auction in the strictest A1 quality. That means you're guaranteed a perfectly rooted, vital plant delivered to your home that will transform your space (and your sleep)."
✅ The green lungs of your home: Plants with large leaf surfaces act as natural air purifiers and humidity regulators.
✅ Premium A1 quality: We guarantee strong, healthy houseplants sourced directly from certified Dutch growers.
✅ Reliable Airway delivery: No dark, cramped boxes. We deliver plants exclusively in our own temperature-controlled and refrigerated vehicles, so they never suffer heat or cold shock, and our courier hands them to you at your door in 100% condition.
Which "lung variant" should you choose?
In our e-shop you'll find several green favorites for cleaner air. They differ in shape and growth habit, but all work just as reliably:
-
Monstera deliciosa (The classic queen): This icon with giant heart-shaped leaves tends to spread outward. It's an ideal freestanding floor plant for a corner of the room, one that instantly grabs attention.
-
Monstera pertusum (Slim elegance): If you're short on space, choose this variety grown on a moss pole. It grows primarily upward, forming a dense, remarkably elegant green column.
-
Monstera Adansonii Monkey Leaf (Playful climber): Looking for something smaller for a shelf or a hanging pot? This more compact variety, with its signature perforated "windows" in the leaves, is the perfect choice for tighter spaces.
Looking for a modern alternative?
-
Strelitzia Nicolai: If you want to turn your bedroom or living room into a tropical paradise, reach for a Strelitzia. This plant, with its huge banana-tree-like leaves, is incredibly chic, works as an excellent natural air purifier, and pairs perfectly with a Monstera. It gives your home the feel of a luxury hotel.
Spring reset: April and May are repotting season
Right now, in spring, comes the most important period for your Monstera. The plant is waking up and needs room to grow:
-
When to repot: If roots start poking out from the bottom of the pot, or the plant has stopped growing, it's time for a new home. Choose a pot 2–4 cm larger in diameter.
-
Airy substrate: Monsteras love well-draining soil. We recommend lightening a standard houseplant mix by adding perlite or orchid bark.
-
Fertilizing: Starting in April, begin regular feeding once every 14 days. This gives it the strength to form large, deeply split leaves.
3 tips for a healthy Monstera (not just for the bedroom)
For your plant to truly work as your "lungs," it needs the right care:
-
Just the right light: They love bright but diffused light. Direct midday sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light means the leaves won't develop their beautiful splits and will stay whole.
-
Aerial roots are a treasure: Never cut off these brown "strings" on a Monstera! They're its antennae, absorbing moisture straight from the air. You can gently guide them into the pot so they nourish the plant further.
-
Leaves as a mirror: Once every two weeks, wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or give them a light shower. Dust blocks the pores the plant breathes through. A clean leaf means a healthier home and more oxygen for you.
