Details
The Monstera Adansonii, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is loved for its quirky, perforated leaves that bring a playful and tropical touch to any indoor space. Smaller and more delicate than its cousin Monstera deliciosa, the Adansonii is ideal for smaller spaces, trailing, or climbing displays.
Native to Central and South America, this climbing or trailing plant is versatile and easy to care for. Whether you let it cascade from a hanging basket or train it to climb on a moss pole, the Swiss Cheese Plant adds charm and greenery to your home.
- Common Names: Swiss Cheese Plant, Monstera Adansonii, Five-Holes Plant
- Botanical Name: Monstera adansonii

Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage vibrant growth and perforated leaves. Can adapt to medium light but avoid prolonged low light, which can lead to smaller leaves.

- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix, ideal for aroids.
