Know before you buy
While it is naturally a trailing plant that looks great in hanging baskets, you can train it to climb a moss pole or trellis if you prefer a more vertical look. Providing support often encourages the leaves to grow larger over time.
It prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a south-facing window is ideal; direct, harsh sun can scorch the delicate leaves.
No, the Little Swiss Monstera is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a hanging basket where your pets cannot reach the foliage.
Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger about an inch into the pot. If the soil feels dry to the touch, it is time to water; if it is still damp, wait a few more days to avoid overwatering.
Yes, the plant comes in a 5-inch plastic nursery pot. While it is ready to display as-is, many owners choose to place the plastic pot inside a decorative cachepot to match their home decor.
