Swiss Cheese (Monstera deliciosa)

Monstera Deliciosa is an iconic tropical houseplant known for its large, glossy green leaves that develop dramatic splits and holes as the plant matures. Its bold foliage and climbing growth habit create an instant jungle feel, whether grown as a statement floor plant or trained up a moss pole. Fast-growing and relatively easy to care for, it’s one of the most recognizable houseplants around.

It’s a vigorous, easy-care tropical that rewards bright light and a climbing support with increasingly impressive foliage.

The splits and holes in mature Monstera leaves are called fenestrations. As the plant matures and climbs, its new leaves typically become larger and develop increasingly dramatic fenestrations. 🌿
