Monstera Deliciosa
Monstera deliciosa is known for its large, glossy green leaves that are deeply cut or perforated with holes, resembling Swiss cheese. These holes (called fenestrations) are more pronounced in mature plants.
Native to the rainforests of Central America, particularly Mexico and Panama, where it climbs trees using its aerial roots.
It is a vine-like plant that can grow quite large in its natural habitat, with leaves reaching up to 90 cm (3 feet) in length. Indoors, it can be grown as a houseplant and trained to climb with support.
Can be propagated through stem cuttings placed in water or directly into soil. It's a relatively easy plant to propagate.
Monstera deliciosa is toxic to pets (cats and dogs) and humans if ingested, causing oral irritation and swelling. It's advisable to keep it out of reach of pets and children.
Care Requirements:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water when the top inch or two of soil is dry. It's better to underwater than overwater, as overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Enjoys high humidity, which can be achieved by misting its leaves or using a humidifier.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F) and should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Overall, Monstera deliciosa is beloved for its striking appearance and relatively low maintenance, making it a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts worldwide.
