The Monstera deliciosa is a stunning green indoor plant! With its large, green, heart-shaped leaves with slits, it's a real showstopper. Due to these splits, it's also known as the 'Swiss cheese plant'. In the tropical regions of South America, Monstera plants climb and creep. Thanks to aerial roots, the plant attaches itself to trees and can climb up to 20 meters high! To ensure even the lower leaves catch light, the plant develops splits. Therefore, the smallest leaves of this indoor plant might not have any splits yet. The name 'Monstera' means 'strange' in Latin. 'Deliciosa' is derived from the delicious fruits the plant bears in nature. These fruits are said to be incredibly tasty, hence 'delicious'! Originally from the South American jungle, the Monstera thrives in moist and shaded environments. Due to the size and sturdiness of its leaves, they're occasionally used as packaging material. In South America, locals sometimes wrap fish in Monstera leaves. However, we prefer to let it shine on the windowsill!
