10in Monstera Adansonii 'Swiss Cheese'
Best statement piece for indoor gardeners seeking an exotic, climbing vine.
The Monstera Adansonii, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese plant, is a captivating tropical vine that brings a unique aesthetic to any indoor space. Its distinctive, naturally occurring holes in the leaves give it a charming, lace-like appearance. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate watering, allowing the top two inches of soil to dry out between waterings. It benefits from high humidity and well-draining soil, making it ideal for enthusiasts seeking a touch of the exotic. With its climbing nature, it looks stunning on a moss pole or stake.

Know before you buy
While it can trail, providing a moss pole or stake mimics its natural climbing habit and encourages the development of larger, more mature leaves.

No, the Monstera Adansonii is toxic to animals if ingested. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.

We treat all our plants with organic Neem Oil as a preventative measure to ensure they arrive pest-free and to support overall leaf health.
