Looking for something a little wild and wonderful? The Monstera adansonii, often called the Swiss Cheese Plant thanks to its striking hole-filled leaves, brings a little jungle magic into any space. Its trailing emerald-green foliage spills beautifully from a hanging pot, creating an effortless, tropical vibe.

Size
W17cm x H50cm (including the trailing foliage). Supplied in a plastic nursery pot.

Native Habitat and Growth Patterns
Native to the humid rainforests of Central and South America, the Monstera adansonii thrives in dappled light beneath the forest canopy. It’s a natural climber, scrambling up trees in the wild, but indoors it’s just as happy trailing down from a shelf or hanging basket. This version is perfect if you're after a lush, trailing effect without the need for a moss pole.

Styling at Home
This plant is a brilliant choice for kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere that gets bright, indirect light. Let it cascade from a high shelf or pop it in a hanging planter near a window – it adds instant texture and a bit of botanical drama. It’s the kind of plant that looks like you’ve made loads of effort (even when you haven’t).

Care Requirements
Monstera adansonii is easy-going and beginner-friendly. Think rainforest conditions – bright but indirect light, warmth, and a bit of humidity. A steamy bathroom or warm living room suits it well. Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry, and make sure it never sits in water. A little underwatering is better than too much love!

Top Tip
Avoid killing it with kindness. Most issues arise from overwatering – let the soil dry out between waterings, and it will reward you with lush growth.

Why Choose This Plant
This is one of those houseplants that always gets compliments. Its unusual leaves give it a unique look, and the trailing growth habit is perfect for styling small spaces without sacrificing greenery. It also makes a brilliant gift – and we’ll include a free handwritten card if you’re sending it as a present. No paperwork or prices, just a beautiful surprise.

Interesting Facts

  • The holes in the leaves are called fenestrations and help the plant survive in the wild by letting light through to the lower leaves.

  • It's often mistaken for the larger Monstera deliciosa, but adansonii has more delicate, trailing stems and smaller, thinner leaves.

  • You can also train it to climb if you prefer a vertical look – it’s a flexible, fun plant to grow.

FAQs

Is it pet safe?
No – Monstera adansonii is toxic to pets if ingested, so best kept out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

How often should I feed it?
Once a month in spring and summer is ideal. We recommend our Organic Vegan Plant Food – it’s made exclusively for us and packed with everything your plant needs to thrive.

Can I put it outside?
Only in summer and only if it’s warm, sheltered, and shady. This is a jungle plant, not a fan of cold drafts or harsh sun.

Is this plant easy to look after?
Yes – it’s one of the easiest trailing houseplants out there and very forgiving if you forget to water now and then.

Reasonable quality, slightly small, definitely unhemmed
Size: 42, Color: White With Black Strip, Size: 42, Color: White With Black Strip
If these pants are the right look for what you want/need, they're a reasonably good quality option. But that said, in practice these looked a little "cheesy" with the black stripe. I can't say for sure that's a result of how the product is made/how it looks, but I just couldn't see myself wearing them. That's assuming I could wear them... In terms of fit, they were slightly small in the waist for both pairs I ordered. I'm not sure what I thought they meant when I read that they were unhemmed, but for those looking for pants to take out of the box and wear... these aren't for you. The ankles are not "finished" and require hemming to make them look acceptable. (This was my fault, so I didn't count off for this)

They stand out, and are flashy, but sizing is complicated.
Size: 34, Color: Black With White Strip, Size: 34, Color: Black With White Strip
High-quality pants and flashy. The stripe adds a lot of attention for reasons both good and bad. The materials they were made are excellent quality. Pants are thick, but not too thick, and are lightweight, guaranteeing easy movement. Comfortable - could wear these all day. I do love their appearance. They made me feel like a million bucks. :) The only problem is sizing and fit. I normally wear size 34 for waist in jeans and dress pants like these, but the 34 I got didn't fit at all - too tight. So, I ordered a 36, and it fit, but barely. When I sat down, there was too much tightness in my "masculine area". I also ordered a 38, and, well, they were just too big - practically hung off me. A 37 would probably work for me in these, but they don't offer such a size. I have to return the 34 and 38. Will keep the 36, see if I can have it altered in some way. Length was fine. Being 1.86 meters, often the length in these pants is a little on the short side. In the photo, I'm wearing size 36 and the black pair with the gold stripe, which is actually more of a flashy yellow. I liked how I looked in them, but they were a little too tight at times, the belt wasn't even necessary. It enhanced the outfit though, don't you think.
