Monstera Adansonii 'Swiss Cheese'
Add a touch of wild, tropical charm to your home with the Monstera adansonii. Loved for its dramatic, naturally perforated leaves, this vining beauty brings shape, texture, and movement to any room. Whether trailing from a shelf or climbing a moss pole, it grows quickly and rewards you with lush, hole-filled foliage that steals the show.
Why You’ll Love It
• Iconic perforated “Swiss cheese” leaves
• Fast-growing and full of personality
• Perfect for hanging planters, shelves, or climbing supports
Care Needs
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light but may produce fewer holes in lower conditions. Avoid direct sun.
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep evenly moist but never soggy—good drainage is essential.
• Humidity: Loves humidity. Average household levels work, but higher humidity encourages bigger leaves and better fenestrations.
• Temperature: Ideal between 65–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts and drying vents.
• Growth Habit: Naturally vining—give it space to trail or climb.
Pet Safety
The Monstera adansonii is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, containing calcium oxalates that can irritate the mouth and digestive system. Best kept out of reach of curious pets.
A fun, fast-growing plant that brings bold, jungle vibes to any corner of your space.
