Since Monstera Plants have a natural habitat of warm and humid jungle environments, they do best in bright indirect sunlight. It will grow in lower light conditions but will not do well with low light. Do not leave your Monstera in direct light, such as in a sunny window, or the leaves will get burned, turn yellow and die. The best lighting conditions for healthy growth would be in a room that gets bright indirect sunlight. Look for a room with indirect light from southern-facing windows. It does not like water-logged soil, or wet feet. Letting it sit in constantly wet soil or overwatering can cause root rot and will eventually kill it.
Well draining soil is essential to drain excess water away from the roots, to prevent root rot and let the roots develop. Make sure to let it dry out somewhat between watering to drain excess water to improve root health.
