Description

If there is one houseplant that has inspired generation after generation of indoor gardeners, then it has to be the popular, and thankfully easy to grow, Monstera Deliciosa, lovingly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant.

With glossy, rich green leaves that develop irregular punched holes, this plant trails gently across the edges of the pot when left untrained or can be treated as a climber and tied to a support. The glossy and tropical leaves are what makes this plant a star, particularly bringing a lush and exotic feel to any room of the home.

It's fascinating to watch the young leaves as the emerge tightly furled, growing longer each day before opening fully. Young leaves are solid, but as the plant matures they begin to develop the characteristic holes. Naturally a lazy climber, your plant will greatly benefit from the support of a moss pole (not supplied) where you can push its aerial roots into the moss as they develop, for support as it grows.

A native to tropical rainforests, Monstera is a houseplant that's easy to keep happy - we recommend that you place it in bright, yet indirect sunlight indoors and mist the leaves regularly for humidity - plus it will appreciate a wipe of the leaves now and again to restore a glossy sheen.

Supplied as an established plant in a 4L pot, approx. 75-85cm tall.

As with all houseplants, keep away from children and pets and take care when handling.

Please note that the decorative pot is not included.

Top Tips
Place your Monstera in a bright spot out of direct sunlight. Mist leaves regularly and wipe occasionally to remove dust and restore their glossy sheen.
Care Information
  • Best grown in indirect sunlight in an average room temperature - avoid large temperature fluctuations.
  • Water regularly and allow the soil to dry a bit between watering.
  • Feed once a month with a general-purpose liquid houseplant feed.
  • Mist leaves to maintain humidity.
  • Clean leaves regularly with a damp cloth.
  • Do not place in direct sunlight, as this will scorch and yellow the leaves.
  • Keep out of darker areas as growth will be spindly and new leaves will lose their holes and cuts.

 The leaves of Monstera deliciosa are toxic so keep away from pets and children

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
