Also known as: Swiss Cheese Plant, Five-Holes Plant, Monkey Mask Monstera.
This playful vining aroid is famous for its perforated, heart-shaped leaves that look like... swiss cheese? It climbs or trails depending on how you train it, and each new leaf grows more dramatic as the plant matures.
💡 Care Tips:
☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light; too little light dulls the leaves, while too much direct sun can scorch them. 💧 Water – Water when the top inch of soil dries; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Needs good drainage. 🌡️ Humidity – Thrives in 60%+ humidity; prefers warm temps (65–85°F / 18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts. 🌱 Growth – A fast-growing vine that can trail beautifully from a basket or climb up a moss pole. Leaves grow larger and more fenestrated with maturity.
📊 Difficulty: Intermediate (forgiving, but dislikes soggy soil or very dry air). 🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (calcium oxalate crystals can cause mouth and stomach irritation). All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.
🌟 Collector’s Tip: Native to Central and South American rainforests, Monstera adansonii develops the best fenestrations when it’s climbing—give it support, and watch the holes multiply.
