Monstera Deliciosa

Brief Description

The Monstera Deliciosa, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a tropical plant known for its large, glossy, dark green leaves. As the plant matures, the leaves develop natural holes, called fenestrations, which give it its distinctive 'Swiss cheese' appearance.

Care Instructions

Place in bright, indirect light. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Prefers high humidity and well-draining soil. Support with a moss pole for climbing.

Medicinal Value

While some parts of the plant (especially unripe fruit and sap) are toxic due to calcium oxalate crystals, the ripe fruit of Monstera Deliciosa is edible and has been used in some traditional medicine for its properties. However, it's crucial to handle this plant with caution and consult with experts regarding any medicinal use.
