Description

A popular and inspiring houseplant that has delighted generation after generation of indoor growers. This Swiss Cheese Plant is now far more compact and even more undemanding! See rich green glossy leaves with irregular holes on this plant, which trail gently over the pot if left untrained, or can be treated as a climber and tied to a support.

Easy to grow and offering instant impact wherever placed, so anyone can benefit from the health and wellbeing that plants and gardening can bring into the home. The tropical leaves of the Monkey Leaf are what make this plant a star, easily adding a lush, exotic feel to any room.

Young leaves are solid and as the plant matures they begin to show characteristic holes which make the leaf resemble a mask. Naturally a lazy climber, your plant will enjoy the support of a moss pole, not supplied, where you can push its aerial roots into the moss as they develop, helping to support it as it grows.

A native of tropical rainforests, Monstera is a houseplant that's easy to keep happy. We recommend you place it in bright but not direct sunlight indoors and mist the leaves regularly to provide humidity - plus they love a bit of a leaf-wipe now and again to remove dust and restore that glossy sheen.

Supplied as an established plant in a 12cm pot, eventually reaching just H1m x W0.4m. Please note, the pictured decorative pot is for illustration purposes and is not supplied.

As with all houseplants, keep away from children and pets and take care when handling.

Top Tips
Best grown in bright light otherwise growth will be spindly and new leaves will lose their holes.
Care Information
  • Best grown in indirect sunlight in an average room temperature - avoid large temperature fluctuations.
  • Water regularly and allow the soil to dry a bit between watering.
  • Feed once a month with a general-purpose liquid houseplant feed.
  • Mist leaves to maintain humidity.
  • Clean leaves regularly with a damp cloth.
  • Do not place in direct sunlight, as this will scorch and yellow the leaves.
  • As with all houseplants, keep away from children and pets and take care when handling.
