Description
Monstera adansonii, commonly known as Swiss Cheese Vine, is a popular trailing and climbing houseplant known for its green leaves with natural holes, called fenestrations. Its vining growth habit makes it a great choice for hanging baskets, shelves, trellises, or moss poles. When given support, it can develop larger leaves and a fuller tropical look.
Light Requirements
For best growth, place Monstera adansonii in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light will encourage fuller growth and stronger leaf development. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root issues. Monstera prefer lightly moist soil, but they should not sit in standing water.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant prefers warm indoor temperatures and average to higher humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Higher humidity and a moss pole or trellis can help support larger, healthier leaves.
Pet Safety
Monstera adansonii is not considered pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. It is best to keep it out of reach of pets that may chew on plants.
Best For
Monstera adansonii is a great choice for plant owners who want an easy-care trailing or climbing plant with unique fenestrated leaves and a classic tropical look.
