Swiss Cheese Plant Monstera
If there is one houseplant that has inspired generation after generation of indoor gardeners, then it has to be the popular, and thankfully easy to grow, Monstera Deliciosa, lovingly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant.With glossy, rich green leaves that develop irregular punched holes, this plant trails gently across the edges of the pot when left untrained or can be treated as a climber and tied to a support. The glossy and tropical leaves are what makes this plant a star, particularly bringing a lush and exotic feel to any room of the home.It's fascinating to watch the young leaves as the emerge tightly furled, growing longer each day before opening fully. Young leaves are solid, but as the plant matures they begin to develop the characteristic holes. Naturally a lazy climber, your plant will greatly benefit from the support of a moss pole (not supplied) where you can push its aerial roots into the moss as they develop, for support as it grows.A native to tropical rainforests, Monstera is a houseplant that's easy to keep happy - we recommend that you place it in bright, yet indirect sunlight indoors and mist the leaves regularly for humidity - plus it will appreciate a wipe of the leaves now and again to restore a glossy sheen.Supplied as an established plant in a 4L pot, approx. 60-80cm tall.As with all houseplants, keep away from children and pets and take care when handling.Please note that the decorative pot is not included.
