Monstera

Brief Description

Monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss cheese plant, is renowned for its large, glossy leaves that develop unique holes and splits as they mature. It can grow as a climbing vine, using its aerial roots to cling to trees in its natural habitat.

Care Instructions

Place in bright, indirect light; water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It prefers high humidity and should be fertilized monthly during the growing season. Prune to control size and shape.

Medicinal Value

Though primarily grown as an ornamental plant, the young fruits are edible when ripe and can be eaten fresh, while the leaves may have traditional medicinal uses in some cultures.
