Monstera Deliciosa in Tall Patterned Green Vase

Monstera deliciosa, also known as the split-leaf philodendron or Swiss cheese plant, is a tropical plant often kept as a houseplant. This easy-to-grow climbing evergreen provides a dramatic focal point due to its size and unique shape. Monstera deliciosa has glossy, heart-shaped split leaves and is relatively easy to care for. It is a fast grower, about 1 to 2 feet a year, and takes about three years to reach full-grown maturity.

To properly care for a Monstera, it needs bright, indirect light, well-draining soil, and regular watering, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. They also thrive in warm, humid environments and benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season. When the top inch of soil or two feels dry, water then! A mix of peat moss, perlite, and coco coir can provide good drainage and aeration.

The exterior diameter of the plant opening is 6 inches with added drainage in bottom. This is a large plant, measuring 27.5 inches tall and 20 inches wide (leaf to leaf.) This plant is toxic to humans or pets if ingested!
