Monstera deliciosa | Swiss Cheese Plant

A jungle giant made perfect for every home

One of the most iconic and recognisable house plants, the Monstera Deliciosa has been a favourite for decades now. Very easy to grow the monstera is the perfect variety for beginners who want a big impact plant for their collection. Originally from the tropical forests of Mexico these plants can grow over 60 feet tall in the wild. Indoors they are a little more tame, but their fast growth and large leaves make them a favourite for many. The characteristic leaves will slowly unfurl and darken to a beautiful deep green and the older the plant the more perforations will appear on the leaves; a trait which earned it the name of ‘Swiss Cheese Plant’. Monstera’s can be displayed in a number of ways, either trained to climb up, usually with the assistance of a moss pole, or left to spread out wild and care free. NASA has also rated the monstera as one of the best air purifying houseplants.
