What we ❤️ about this plant:
🌿 Iconic tropical houseplant with large, glossy green leaves
✨ Mature foliage develops the distinctive splits and fenestrations that give Monstera its famous look
☀️ Thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts well to a range of indoor conditions
💧 Easy to care for – allow the upper layer of compost to dry between waterings
📈 Fast-growing and naturally climbing, developing larger leaves when given suitable support
🪴 Supplied approx. 30cm tall in a 12cm pot
Bring a touch of the tropics into your home with Monstera deliciosa, one of the world’s most recognisable and popular houseplants. Loved for its large, glossy green foliage, this easy-going tropical plant develops the characteristic splits and holes that have earned it the familiar name Swiss Cheese Plant.
Young Monsteras typically begin with attractive solid, heart-shaped leaves. As the plant becomes established and produces larger foliage, the famous splits and fenestrations gradually develop, transforming it into an impressive statement plant.
Naturally a climbing plant, Monstera deliciosa benefits from a moss pole or other sturdy support as it grows. Providing something to climb can encourage larger, more mature foliage while helping the plant maintain an attractive upright shape.
Monstera is also an excellent choice for newer plant owners. It adapts well to typical household conditions and is relatively forgiving, requiring little more than good indirect light, sensible watering and occasional feeding to produce vigorous new growth.
At approximately 30cm tall in a 12cm pot, these young plants are a great size for shelves, desks and plant stands while offering plenty of potential to develop into a large and impressive indoor specimen.
How to Care for Monstera deliciosa
• Position in bright, indirect light for the best growth. It can tolerate somewhat lower light, although growth and fenestration may be reduced.
• Water when the upper few centimetres of compost have dried, allowing excess water to drain thoroughly.
• Use a loose, free-draining houseplant or aroid compost to maintain good aeration around the roots.
• Provide a moss pole or sturdy support as the plant becomes larger to encourage its natural climbing habit.
• Average household humidity is generally suitable, although moderate humidity will encourage healthy tropical growth.
• Feed approximately once a month during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser.
