The Monstera Deliciosa
Swiss Cheese PlantThe Monstera Deliciosa is the definitive statement indoor plant for modern, light-filled spaces. Known for its dramatic, perforated leaves—a process botanically termed fenestration—this tropical climber brings an instant jungle aesthetic to high-ceilinged rooms. Beyond its visual impact, the Monstera is a vigorous air-purifier, highly effective at increasing humidity and filtering particulate matter in contemporary urban apartments.
Curator's Growth Tip
To encourage the largest, most "holey" leaves, provide your Monstera with a moss pole or coco coir totem to climb. This mimics its natural habitat in the rainforest canopy. Ensure it sits in bright, indirect light; too little light will result in smaller leaves without the signature splits. Please note, like most aroids, it is toxic to pets if ingested.
