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.

History worth reading
Format: Kindle
Presents the history of the Bretton Woods conference, creation of the World Bank and the IMF and global and US politics surrounding the events. Discussion of Harry Dexter White, key US representative at Bretton Woods focuses on claims he was a Soviet spy beginning in the late 1930s and continuing through the conference and into the late 1940s; spends more time than necessary on this even though it is not clear how this affected the outcome of the conference. Most of the discussion of Keynes is on his reputation rather than his economics. Not the definitive history of Bretton Woods.

Foes at the Top Table
Format: Kindle
Those of us who studied economics in the 60s grew up on Keynes. This book provides a fascinating picture of the great man in action. And an equally fascinating picture of the Lend Lease negotiations and then the US hard line at Bretton Woods. Behind this hard line was Harry Woods, of Lithuanian emigre stock, who clawed his way by hard work and intelligence to negotiating prominence in the US Treasury. And who was a Soviet agent of influence. Well written, lucid, and remarkably interesting.

A distant mirror of our current problems
Format: Hardcover
The title of this excellent book accurately describes its contents:it is about a battle fought to define a new world order, that which was emerging from the ashes of World War II. The book also conveys the messy complexity of such a historical process--how individual characters interpreted the events around them, realized that they were giving shape to a radically new future, tried to take advantage of them to advance their own personal and national interests, and succeeded in accordance with their intelligence, the cunning of their argumentation, and, above all, the shifts in the real power that supported them. Masterly, Benn Steil makes the reader feel how Keynes and White gradually reached an unspoken and unrecognized agreement regarding the shape that the new world would have, and then fought to gain advantage in that new world--Keynes trying to keep the British Empire paramount in the world order, now based not on the Royal Navy but on Britain's alliance with the United States, the emerging superpower, and White asserting the unimpeded power of the United States. Focusing on one crucial aspect of the new order, money, Steil is able to reenact the human drama of the transfer of world power from Britain to the United States in all orders of life. It is an excellent history book.
The book, however, goes beyond history as the narration and understanding of past events. When reading it, there is an eerie feeling that you are reading about current events. The process that led to Bretton Woods started thirty years before, with World War I and the end of the classical gold standard. When the war ended, a new monetary system was created, which was called the gold exchange standard. It resembled but emasculated the power of the old gold standard to keep monetary order in the world at large. This new system gave central banks the power to create money independently of the international consequences of doing it. With time, central banks abused this power, created a boom in the 1920s and then a depression in the 1930s. Bretton Woods was convened to reintroduce order in the monetary world. Like the gold standard of old, the new system created there was tied to gold in an effort to ensure stability. Yet, it also allowed central banks freedom to create money under certain circumstances. As it happened in the 1920s and 1930s, central banks abused their power, blew up the international system (in this case the Bretton Woods system) and then led the world into a series of booms and busts that has not ended as yet. A new monetary order will be needed to avoid worldwide inflation and protracted recessions. To understand the issues that will be crucial to give shape to this new monetary order it will be necessary to revisit the making of Bretton Woods in detail. There is no better way to understand these issues that Ben Steil's The Battle of Bretton Woods. Thus, in addition to being an excellent history book, it is also an excellent book about current events.
Full disclosure: I wrote a previous book with Benn Steil: Money, Markets and Sovereignty (Yale University Press, 2009).

The Battle of Bretton Woods
Format: Hardcover
From the growing reliance upon international finance and the devastating repercussions of two World Wars, Steil weaves together an important narrative that tells the story of America's rise to the world stage as a major power. Britain's reign of dominance comes to an abrupt end under the weight of the Second World War and the dependence of their territories. Reliance on foreign aid and mounting debt put Britain in a precarious situation for which the United States capitalized on to secure its place as the dominant world power. Through the ideas and experiences of two brilliant economists, Harry White and John Keynes, were guided through the creation and implementation of an economic solution to remedy, and further amalgamate the global financial framework. At Bretton Woods, White and Keynes promote slightly different plans that form the International Monetary Fund and World Bank; organizations designed to monitor, stabilize, and assist international finance. To Britain, and much of the world's chagrin, the organizations are formed in a manner that benefited the United States post-World War Two position as a creditor nation. Dollar dominance in the newly designed financial markets promotes short-term growth for the United States. However, financial mismanagement and over-extension soon lead the U.S. down a path of monetary hardship that ultimately results in our current situation as debtor nations (much like Britain was when the story began). The author ends the narrative by chronicling the effects of Bretton Woods on the United States, Britain, and international finance from the mid-twentieth century to the present. This book tells the remarkable story of America's rise to power through a financial lens. Steil is a wonderful writer who describes complex ideas of monetary policy, international economics, and currency manipulation in such a manner that is easy to understand and leaves the reader wanting more.
