This might translate to watering about once a week when themonstera is grown in bright, indirect light.
But observing the moisture of the soil is really the key to knowing when and how often to water.
After watering, the surface of the soil should feel lightly moist, not wet.

What’s the Best Time to Water a Monstera?
Watering in the morning is preferable.
Don’t follow a watering schedule; you will end up under and overwatering your plant.
There are three ways to find out if it’s time to water a monstera.
In a container with good drainage, the excess moisture will drain out the bottom of the pot.
Water at the base of the plant to lessen the possibility of diseased leaves.
Let excess water out through the drainage holes before returning the container to its usual location.
A south-facing window will get the brightest sunlight.
Temperature can also affect how often a monstera needs water.
A monstera usually needs more water in the summer months, while in winter it needs watering less frequently.
Signs Your Monstera Is Overwatered
There are several indicators that a monstera is overwatered.
Water thoroughly, and double-check container drains excess water effectively.
The monstera likes a high level of humidity, but misting is not an effective way to raise humidity.
Instead,add a humidifier.
Let the top 2 to 3 inches of soil dry out between waterings.
Though if leaf edges are brown or crispy, the monstera may be underwatered.
Monsteras grow best when placed in bright, indirect sunlight.
