Monstera Deliciosa - Swiss Cheese Plant

Monstera Deliciosa – Swiss Cheese Plant | Ships in a 1 Gallon Pot

Make a bold statement with the tropical beauty of the Monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant. Loved for its large, glossy leaves with natural fenestrations (splits and holes), this iconic houseplant brings lush jungle vibes to any indoor space.

Native to the rainforests of Central America, the Monstera gets its name from the delicious fruit it produces in the wild—reminiscent of a pineapple-banana fusion. While it rarely fruits indoors, it’s prized for its dramatic foliage and fast-growing nature. Shipped established in a 1-gallon pot, your Monstera is ready to thrive in bright, indirect light and a cozy indoor setting.

Perfect for plant enthusiasts of all experience levels, the Monstera can grow up to 15 feet tall indoors with the right care and conditions. Give it room to climb or trail, and it will reward you with stunning, sculptural leaves.
