Monstera deliciosa – Swiss Cheese Plant

 

This fast growing plant with large glossy green leaves and stems that can reach a height of 20ft or more is also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant.

 

Light

Keep in good light, but not direct sunlight, i.e. moderate brightness. 

Water

Keep the soil moist from November to March, but be careful that it does not become waterlogged. Water thoroughly for the rest of the year, but allow the surface of the compost to dry between watering. 

Temperature

It requires a temperature of between 20-30ºC (68-86ºF). Growth will cease below 10ºC (50ºF) and frost will kill it. It prefers high humidity. Flowering is rare when grown indoors. 

 

 

Feed

Feed monthly with a liquid fertiliser. It is not necessary to feed any more than this. 

Repot

Repot only every two years in the spring. 

Pruning

If the plant gets too tall, you can remove the growing tip in the summer at a point below an aerial root.
