Make a bold, tropical statement in any room with the iconic Monstera deliciosa.

Why You’ll Love It
• Famous for its fenestrated “Swiss cheese” leaves
• Fast-growing and rewarding with proper care
• A striking focal point that thrives in modern, boho, and minimalist spaces alike
Care Needs
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It will tolerate medium light but may develop fewer splits in lower conditions. Avoid prolonged direct sun on the leaves.
• Water: Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil feel dry. Monsteras prefer evenly moist soil but don’t like sitting in water—use a pot with good drainage.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average household conditions.
• Temperature: Ideal between 65–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts or vents that cause dryness.
• Support: As it matures, it may appreciate a moss pole or stake to climb and expand.
Pet Safety
The Monstera deliciosa is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested, due to insoluble calcium oxalates that can irritate the mouth and digestive system. Keep it out of reach of curious pets.
A timeless favorite with big personality—perfect for anyone wanting a statement plant that grows with you and transforms your space.
