Water when top half of soil is dry. Keep soil barely moist in winter.
Feed every 4 weeks from spring to early autumn with a nitrogen based fertiliser.
Yellowing leaves can be a sign of overwatering, ease up on the frequency of watering and make sure that the top 5cm of soil is dry before watering. Curled or cripsy leaf tips can be caused by low humidity or too much fertiliser. If your Monstera doesn't have any fenestrations (holes) it is not getting enough sunlight, move to a brighter spot (remember the young leaves are smooth). Scorched leaves are a caused by too much direct sunlight try moving to a shadier spot. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean.
