- Swiss cheese plant with split leaves
- Best in bright, indirect indoor light
- Prefers moist soil and humid air
Bring a touch of the rainforest indoors with the iconic Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera deliciosa). Instantly recognisable by its large, glossy, heart-shaped dark green leaves, which develop distinctive holes as they mature, this South American native makes a stunning focal point in hallways, living rooms, and conservatories with sufficient space to accommodate its growth. Ideal for greenhouses and conservatories.
This adaptable plant thrives in average room temperatures between 18°C and 24°C, away from cold draughts and radiators. Position in dappled shade or a brightly lit spot, avoiding direct sunlight, although it can tolerate lower light levels, which will slow its growth. Remember to consider its rapid growth rate and eventual size (up to 250cm height and spread) when choosing a location.
Water your Monstera regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Feed regularly from March to September during its active growth period. This plant enjoys a humid environment, so place it on a tray of pebbles and water, or mist the foliage daily to increase humidity.
The Monstera can grow to impressive proportions within a few years. Prune stems as needed to manage its size. Hardiness: Tender.
Please be aware that some houseplants can be toxic to pets if ingested. If you suspect your pet has eaten a poisonous plant, seek immediate veterinary attention, bringing a sample of the plant with you.
