Cut monstera leaves are quite hardy compared to many other foliage types.
Average vase life: They generally last 2–4 weeks in water, sometimes longer if conditions are good.
Water hygiene: Change the water every 2–3 days to prevent bacterial growth.
Stem trimming: Re-cut stems at an angle every few days to keep water uptake efficient.
Environment: Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air conditioners. Moderate indoor temperatures (20–25 °C) help them last longer.
Leaf condition: Younger, firm leaves last longer than older, more mature ones.
Signs of decline: Yellowing, curling, or browning edges usually mean the leaf is nearing the end of its vase life.
If you want them for decorative purposes, monstera leaves often outlast typical cut flowers and can sometimes look good for up to 6 weeks, especially if only used as greenery.
