temperature range on Monstera Deliciosa
Quick answer
If your Monstera Deliciosa has temperature range, the most likely cause is: Monstera deliciosa exhibits tropical evergreen physiology optimized for stable temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Temperatures below 60°F (15°C) slow cellular metabolism and enzyme activity. The species demonstrates photosynthetic acclimation to light intensity changes through reorganization of the photosynthetic apparatus, but this acclimation is temperature-dependent. Cold stress below 55°F can cause permanent cellular damage to leaf tissue and root systems.
Start here:
- 1. Move plant away from cold drafts, exterior doors, and AC vents
- 2. Monitor temperature with thermometer; maintain minimum 65°F
Why Monstera Deliciosa gets temperature range
Monstera deliciosa
Monstera deliciosa exhibits tropical evergreen physiology optimized for stable temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Temperatures below 60°F (15°C) slow cellular metabolism and enzyme activity.

How to reverse temperature range on Monstera Deliciosa
- 1
Move plant away from cold drafts, exterior doors, and AC vents
- 2
Monitor temperature with thermometer; maintain minimum 65°F
- 3
In winter, provide supplemental heat if room temperature drops below 65°F
- 4
Reduce watering frequency in cooler months (below 70°F) to prevent root rot
- 5
Expect slower growth below 70°F; do not increase fertilization to compensate
Keep temperature range off this Monstera Deliciosa
Maintain consistent indoor temperatures between 65-85°F year-round. Avoid placement near drafty windows in winter or air conditioning vents in summer.
