Know before you buy
Fenestration refers to the natural holes and splits that develop in the leaves as the plant matures. These iconic gaps are a signature feature of the Monstera deliciosa and become more prominent as the plant receives adequate light.
No, the Monstera Swiss Cheese Plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its growth and leaf patterns. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners, which will slow its growth and prevent the leaves from developing their characteristic holes.
Yes, as the plant grows, its vining stems will benefit from a moss pole or trellis for support. Providing a structure allows the plant to climb upward, which often encourages larger, healthier leaf development.
The Monstera prefers a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, and ensure the pot has proper drainage.
