Monstera adansonii

$35.00

Pot Size: 6” hanging pot
Grown From: Plug or in-house propagation
Availability: Small batch

Monstera adansonii — you might know it as the Swiss Cheese plant — didn't develop those holes by accident. In the rainforests of Central and South America, this vine evolved fenestrated leaves to let light and wind pass through as it climbed toward the forest canopy. Every hole is a survival strategy. Which makes it one of the more interesting plants you can own — one that looks like a design choice and is actually a feat of natural engineering.

It trails, climbs, and grows with intention. It arrives full and compact — already making a statement — and given time and the right light, it'll trail beautifully from a hanging pot or climb whatever you give it to lean on.

Care, the simple version

  • Light: Bright indirect light — a few feet from a sunny window is ideal

  • Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry; good drainage is essential

  • Humidity: Loves moisture in the air — a pebble tray or bathroom shelf helps

  • Growth note: Trails beautifully from a hanging pot or climbs with support

  • Heads up: Toxic to pets and small children — keep out of reach

What arrives with your plant

  • One Monstera adansonii, already making a statement and just getting started

  • A digital care card — with full light, water, and troubleshooting guidance written the Roots Included way

  • A 6" hanging pot, ready to hang or set on a surface

A note from us: Give it consistent light and let the soil dry a little between waterings. That's really most of it. This plant is more forgiving than it looks, and it grows fast enough to make you feel like you're doing everything right.
