Monstera adansonii, the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a laid-back climber with a taste for adventure. Native to Central and South America, it's happy to scramble up trees or chill on the forest floor. Its heart-shaped leaves are full of oval holes, letting in dappled light and breezes.
As a houseplant, Monstera adansonii keeps things simple. It tops out at 3–5 feet tall, but give it a moss pole and it'll shoot up to 13 feet. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil, watering when the top inch feels dry. Steer clear of direct sun to prevent scorching.
For bigger leaves and more holes, provide a support and consistent care. This easygoing climber is perfect for anyone wanting low-maintenance tropical flair.
