What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise The Sill's Monstera Deliciosa for its premium quality and presentation. The robust packaging ensures plants arrive vibrant and healthy, featuring impressive leaf fenestration indicative of mature specimens. The pairing with signature planters elevates the plant to immediate home decor status, making it a popular gift. While the convenience and guaranteed quality are valued, the premium price point is the main consideration for some buyers. Despite the cost, the overall experience confirms this is a top choice for those prioritizing a near perfect, ready-to-display delivery.
Know before you buy
Younger Monstera leaves are often solid, but as the plant matures and receives adequate light, it will develop the iconic fenestrations. You may see a mix of solid and split leaves depending on the age of the specific plant you receive.
The Monstera Deliciosa prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or a few feet away from a sunny window is ideal to encourage growth and maintain its vibrant foliage.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that your pets cannot easily access, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
Your plant arrives already potted in a plastic grow pot with coco coir soil, so it is ready for immediate display. You can place the grow pot directly into a decorative planter of your choice without needing to repot it right away.
Coco coir is an excellent, sustainable alternative to peat moss that provides great aeration and moisture retention. It helps keep the roots healthy by preventing the soil from becoming overly compacted.
Planter sizes are measured by the diameter of the container. Consider the footprint of your space: a small 5-inch pot is perfect for a desk or bookshelf, while our massive 12-14 inch options make a significant floor-standing statement.
