Monstera deliciosa

Also called the Swiss Cheese Plant, this plant features large, heart-shaped leaves with stunning cuts that form as the plant ages.  These perforations help the plant withstand high winds in the wild.  They are naturally a climbing plant so a moss post is recommended to give it some stability.  The aerial roots the stems produce will grow into the post and anchor it eventually but the stem should be tied to the post in the meantime (not tightly).   

Monstera Basic Care: Easy

• Water: Consistent watering is key. Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out before watering again.
• Light: Prefers medium to bright indirect light. Protect from direct sunlight to prevent burning the foliage.
• Soil/Drainage: Thrives in an aroid mix, but tropical houseplant soil is also adequate.
• Temperature/Humidity: Ideal humidity is up to 80%, but with the proper care, it can adapt to average household humidity.
  

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
