The Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese plant, is one of the most popular houseplants for plant parents. The Monstera grows small, neon green, heart-shaped leaves. As the plant matures, the leaves become huge, emerald hearts with splits and holes, also known as fenestrations. These cutouts are the reason behind their Swiss Cheese nickname, and the “deliciosa” part of the plant’s name comes from the pineapple-like fruit it bears when it's in the wild!  Originally found deep within the tropical forests of southern Mexico, the Monstera thrives on bright, indirect light. The large Monstera comes in a 10” pot and some have been reported to grow up to 15 feet tall indoors! For now, the medium monstera is perfect as a statement piece on a side table or shelf. This plant is especially unique because it has a “back” – unlike most other plants, the Monstera’s foliage grows facing the same direction. So, be sure to add some support behind the plant so it doesn’t fall over!
