Monstera Adansonii (Swiss cheese)

The Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera adansonii) is a fast-growing, trailing houseplant loved for its soft, heart-shaped green leaves that naturally develop distinctive holes as the plant matures. This fenestrated foliage gives the plant its playful, “Swiss cheese” appearance and adds instant character to any space. With its vining growth habit and aerial roots, Monstera adansonii thrives when given a moss pole or trellis to climb, making it a versatile choice for shelves, hanging planters, or statement displays.

Plant Origin
Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America.

Sunlight Requirements
Prefers bright indirect light but can tolerate medium to lower light conditions. Brighter light encourages faster growth and more pronounced leaf fenestration. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering Requirements
Water every 1–2 weeks, allowing the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly and ensure proper drainage, as Monsteras do not like sitting in soggy soil.

Is This Plant Pet-Friendly?
