Plant description
Monstera deliciosa has been a favourite for many years now. Once it gets going it can be truly impressive with large, glossy heart-shaped leaves which as the plant matures become distinctive perforated and deeply cut leaves.
It originates from tropical rainforests where the aerial roots help it to climb up into the canopy, so as your plant grows you want to gently push the aerial roots into the moss-covered pole.
Please note that the plant comes in a nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Monstera deliciosa:
Keep your Monstera in a bright position, away from direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. It thrives in warm rooms with good natural light and appreciates occasional misting, especially when indoor air is dry. Wiping the leaves with a damp cloth helps keep them free from dust and maintains their glossy appearance.
Water regularly to keep the soil lightly moist, but never saturated — allow the top layer to dry out slightly before watering again. During winter, reduce watering and always check the compost first to avoid overwatering.
In the warmer months, you can water more freely as the plant grows more actively. With consistent light, warmth, and moderate humidity, the Swiss cheese plant will produce strong, healthy foliage and characteristic split leaves.

Which house plant where?
Which house plants you choose should depend on the environment you intend to keep them in, the space available, how much time you can spend preening them as well as your personal preference. For me, foliage house plants are the ticket, because they provid
