Monstera (Swiss cheese plant)

80cm Monstera. These are low-maintenance plants. The key for a happy Swiss cheese plant, is to provide them with the right amount of light –a bright spot, out of direct sunshine. And don't water too much - it's better for the soil to be on the dry side.

They can grow really big in the right conditions (over many years.) About 2m tall and up to 2.5m wide. If you want to encourage lots of height you will need to add a moss pole, as these plants are actually vines, and climb up larger trees in the rainforest.

Swiss cheese plants (Monstera deliciosa) are grown for their lush, glossy leaves. They add a contemporary, jungly feel to a room and are good air purifiers.
