Monstera Deliciosa "Swiss Cheese Plant"

Monstera deliciosa, often referred to as the Swiss Cheese Plant or Split-Leaf Philodendron, is a popular indoor plant known for its striking foliage and tropical vibe. Monstera deliciosa features large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that develop distinctive splits and holes as they mature, resembling Swiss cheese. This unique foliage adds a dramatic and tropical touch to indoor spaces.

Monstera deliciosa may produce long, aerial roots that dangle from the stems. In their natural habitat, these roots help the plant climb and attach to trees for support. Indoors, they add to the plant's aesthetic appeal and can be left as-is or trimmed if desired.

• Light: Monstera deliciosa thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly and produce smaller leaves.

• Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings, and then water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Fertilization: Feed Monstera deliciosa with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Pruning: Prune Monstera deliciosa to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves, as well as to control its size and shape. You can also propagate the plant by taking stem cuttings with aerial roots and planting them in soil or water.
