Monstera deliciosa (Cheese Plant)
Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Cheese Plant, is a much-loved tropical houseplant famous for its large, glossy green leaves and distinctive natural splits and holes. Native to the tropical forests of Central America, it is a fast-growing and wonderfully easy-going plant that brings a lush, jungle feel to any interior. With plenty of warmth and the right amount of light, it can grow into a spectacular statement plant.
Light & Placement
-
Bright, indirect light is ideal and will encourage healthy, strong growth.
-
Avoid harsh direct sunlight, particularly during the hottest part of the day, as this can scorch the leaves.
-
Lower light is tolerated, although growth may be slower and leaves may develop fewer splits.
-
Give the plant plenty of space as Monstera can become large and likes to climb.
-
Keep away from cold draughts and radiators, which can cause the leaves to brown or curl.
Watering & Soil
-
Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry.
-
Allow excess water to drain away and never leave the plant sitting in water, as this can lead to root rot.
-
Use a rich, well-draining potting mix to keep the roots healthy while retaining some moisture.
-
Wipe the large leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking fresh and glossy.
-
Provide a moss pole or support as the plant matures, encouraging it to climb and develop larger leaves.
Don't worry if your Monstera's leaves look different as they mature — the characteristic splits and holes develop naturally as the plant gets older, giving each leaf its own unique shape.
