Monstera Plant

Monstera deliciosa is the iconic “Swiss‑cheese” style houseplant known for huge glossy leaves that develop dramatic splits as they mature. It thrives in bright, indirect light and rewards you with rapid growth and a true jungle vibe. Monsteras love a little structure—give them a moss pole and they’ll climb, getting larger and more fenestrated over time. Perfect for modern interiors, plant shelves, or anyone wanting a showpiece indoor plant.
