Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Monstera deliciosa seeds do not store well, so if not planting right away, store in sphagnum moss in a baggie in the fridge to prevent rot and drying out. Germinating fresh seeds is easy and quick, and germination rates vary from 50%-100% depending on setup and freshness of the seeds.

These seeds are for the 2023 growing season.
Customer Reviews
This is so fun. Monsteras are one of my favorite plants because of house fast they grow, and the seeds grow just as fast! They all germinated within a few weeks, and after 1.5 months I repotted 4 of them into a 6 inch pot. Can't wait to follow their growth. Counting down the days to my first fenestrations!
I have a great propagator and all of the equipment for growing all kinds of things but only half germinated. Even with every trick I know only 5 opened and maybe 4 will actually grow. I was hoping for a slightly better outcome.
Planted these back in December and it’s my first time growing a plant by seeds and i’m also a beginner but they’re doing so good and i can’t wait for them to grow they’re split leaves.
Love having little monstea plants around. In the success I have had, they are growing well, learning from their elders. A must have for plant parents.
I planted the 10 seeds on 6/3/23 the day I received them in the mail. I planted them in sphagnum moss, under grow lights and “tented” in a plastic bag. The pictures posted are from today 7/12/23. As you can see some are bigger than others. One seed has yet to sprout but still looks viable and another one has roots and a little green coming out. I am amazed by the growth. I look forward to planting the rest of the seed I bought. I highly recommend the monstera deliciosa seeds.
