General Information

The Monstera’s holey leaves have earned it the nickname ‘Swiss Cheese Plant’. It needs plenty of space if you are growing it indoors – it’s known to grow as large as 10 feet tall in its natural environment! The Monstera Deliciosa is actually a climbing plant, and needs a moss pole to grow up.
