Care Guide
1. Light Requirements
- Preferred: Bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant green foliage and encourage the characteristic leaf splits (fenestrations).
- Tolerates: Moderate light, though growth may be slower, and leaves may develop fewer splits.
- Avoid: Prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and very low light, which may cause leggy growth.
2. Watering
- Frequency: Water when the top 5 cm (2 inches) of soil feels dry.
- Method: Water thoroughly until it drains out of the bottom, then discard excess water. Avoid letting the plant sit in water.
- Caution: Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause leaf wilting.
3. Humidity
- Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50–60%).
- Increase humidity by misting the plant, using a humidifier, or placing it near a pebble tray with water, especially in dry indoor environments.
4. Temperature
- Ideal range: 18–27°C (65–80°F).
- Protect from temperatures below 10°C (50°F), cold drafts, or sudden temperature changes.
5. Soil
- Requires a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix.
- A mix of standard potting soil with added perlite or bark is ideal to replicate its natural growing conditions.
6. Fertilising
- Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Reduce feeding in autumn and stop during winter when growth slows.
7. Pruning
- Prune to maintain the plant’s shape and size. Cut back leggy growth and remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the base.
- Regular pruning encourages new growth and helps keep the plant bushy.
8. Repotting
- Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
- Use a pot slightly larger than the current one with fresh, well-draining soil.
- For large specimens, top-dress by replacing the top layer of soil annually.
9. Propagation
- Propagate Monstera through stem cuttings with at least one node and aerial root.
- Place cuttings in water or soil and keep them in a warm, bright location until roots develop.
10. Common Problems
- Yellow Leaves: Usually a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Check soil moisture and adjust watering habits.
- Brown Leaf Edges: Often caused by low humidity, underwatering, or excessive direct sunlight.
- Leggy Growth: Results from insufficient light. Move the plant to a brighter location.
- No Fenestrations: Indicates young leaves or insufficient light. Mature leaves develop splits with proper care.
11. Pests
- Occasionally affected by spider mites, mealybugs, or scale.
- Regularly wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and deter pests. Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Styling Tips
- Place the XXL Monstera Deliciosa in a bright corner or as a centrepiece in a large room to showcase its dramatic foliage.
- Use the included 55 cm pot or pair it with a neutral or textured planter for a modern look.
- Let its trailing aerial roots add a natural, untamed aesthetic, or train them with a moss pole or stake for a vertical effect.
- Pair it with smaller plants like pothos or ferns for a layered, tropical vibe.

Eye opening!
Format: Hardcover
I've read tons of books and biographies connected to American history, perhaps because I'm the son of immigrants, but have never read a survey like this one. By describing in luscious and sometimes horrific detail the wars being fought in Mexico and the main Canadian provinces alongside our Civil War, we get patterns, intersections, and insights that simply would not be available reading about any one struggle. I love this book which is teeming with wonderful portraits and dramatic scenes.

A worthy and worthwhile fourth volume in the series
Format: Kindle
Once again, Taylor frames a critical period of the past in terms of the continent of North America and ties the US Civil War to the one occurring concurrently in Mexico and Canada's move toward Dominion. All thoughtfully told and expertly researched.

Good History Book
Format: Kindle
Twenty years that change history and the Americas. Even though the civil war ended slavery at a humongous cost, it it failed to bring social justice a d civil rights to the population of the country. It was not until 1920 that women were granted voting rights. And some problems and divisions persist nowdays.

interesting and fresh perspective on the American civil war
Format: Kindle
Fresh perspective on the well known American Civil War. I appreciate Dr Taylor’s emphasis on the preservation of slavery over the states’ rights argument for why the American Civil War was fought.

A Masterpiece by the most Influential Historian of the 20th Century
Format: Paperback
The late Edmund Morgan may very well have been the most influential American historian of the 20th century. So much of what he wrote has had a definitive impact on the field of American history that he literally stands above the rest of his peers. Few historians can claim to have changed how we view the founding of America, and Morgan is one of that very select company. In American Slavery, American Freedom Morgan managed to alter the relationship of slavery to America. While he was primarily writing about colonial Virginia, he explored the issue of slavery and illustrated how the colonial Virginians used racism to develop the form of chattel slavery that rose here in the colonies during the 17th century.
Often as we teach our history courses our students will invariably answer the question about why people came to the colonies with the statement, "People wanted to be free." Yet, we know from the records that most people who came to Virginia were anything but free. The facts are there and have always been there proving this, yet few speak about it because it conflicts with American heritage. Morgan shattered that illusion in this book. He showed that colonial Virginia was the exact opposite of freedom and that many people in the 17th century were forced to go there. In addition he showed how thousands of people died in Virginia from various causes during the first half of the century.
He also investigated the role of class in colonial Virginia and how those in power sought to use the colonial government to retain that power for themselves and similar people. At times this ran contrary to what the English monarchs wanted in their colonies, but the upper class of Virginia managed to overcome obstacles and stay in power. Morgan did this by examining the records of the colony including the laws as they were enacted. He found that many laws were designed to help those with money at the expense of those without. He also found where the laws changed and became race conscious which he interpreted as the sign that the upper class was making a clear distinction between white and black in order to create the classic Us vs. Them division. This division would be the racist wedge used to keep poor whites of the lower class from associating with the blacks of any class and to reinforce the status of slavery on all blacks.
This book won the Francis Parkman award and is regarded as an American history classic. One of the great things about Morgan was that his writing was wonderful and academic at the same time. Notes are given to the reader on each page via footnotes and reveal the great depth of research that Morgan used to develop this topic. It is a must read even today for anyone studying the history of Virginia. It is also a wonderful example of what a history book should be in its style and literary quality. Morgan's appendix does make one wonder what would have happened had he developed a quantification theory to go with his topic. The data results would probably have reinforced his conclusion. The appendix is an early use of that type of approach and shows that Morgan's conclusion would have been validated by quantification.
All in all this book is a must read for any scholar of Virginia, colonial America, or slavery. Reading it will help the student develop a deeper contextual feeling for how colonial Virginia developed and a greater understanding as to why certain things in this country came about. The theme of racism has been existent in America for centuries and Morgan showed us exactly why that was. This book is a must have in my collection and many others for its high quality of research.
