*Decorative pot and stand are sold separately.
Monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a popular and distinctive houseplant known for its large, perforated leaves. The holes in the leaves are believed to help the plant capture more sunlight in its natural habitat, which is the forest floor. The plant gets its nickname from the holes in its leaves, which resemble Swiss cheese.
One of the unique features of the Monstera deliciosa is that the size and shape of its leaves can vary depending on the age of the plant and the lighting conditions it is grown in. In lower light conditions, the leaves may be smaller and have fewer holes. As the plant matures and grows in brighter light, the leaves may become larger and develop more holes. It's also worth noting that the plant may not have any holes in its leaves when it is young, and the holes will develop as the plant grows.
Overall, the Monstera deliciosa is a low-maintenance plant that is easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but be sure to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to problems with the roots. The plant also benefits from being fertilized during the growing season (spring and summer).
