It isn’t often that a plant calls to mind a dairy product, so when you hear about this "Swiss cheese plant," you might find it a bit odd. Fortunately (or unfortunately, if you’re in the mood for a snack), the Monstera Borsigiana doesn’t actually produce cheese (or smell like it): it got its nickname due to the holes in its enormous green leaves.

Other than just looking pretty, those big, holey leaves serve the important purpose of allowing the plant to collect more light filtering through the leaves of other plants in its native jungles of Panama and Mexico. In captivity, it prefers bright, indirect, but filtered light or, occasionally, copious amounts of shade, since it isn’t used to standing alone and directly exposed to the sun. Many people keep their Monstera Borsigiana on a plant stand so they can move it around when it wants different lighting.

You can typically start this Monstera in a one to two gallon pot, but by the time it reaches full maturity, you may need a 10-gallon one! This plant requires high humidity, well-draining soil, and watering only when the top three to four inches of its soil is dry. If you can provide it with all those things, along with the proper lighting, your cheesy friend can easily provide you with years of companionship.
