Know before you buy
Yes, as the plant matures, it naturally develops its signature fenestrations, or holes. Younger leaves may appear solid, but you can expect the iconic Swiss cheese pattern to emerge as the plant grows.
While it is adaptable to various conditions, it performs best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate partial shade or even full sun, but avoid harsh, direct afternoon rays that might scorch the foliage.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it in a hanging basket or on a high shelf where your pets cannot reach the leaves.
This plant prefers to stay consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil regularly and water when it begins to feel slightly dry to the touch.
No, the plant is sold in an 8-inch nursery pot, and decorative pots or hanging hardware are sold separately. You will need to provide your own container to display it as a hanging plant.
The Swiss Cheese Philodendron is a fast grower, especially during the spring and summer months. Because of its vining habit, you may want to provide a moss pole or trellis if you prefer it to climb rather than trail.
