Monstera Adansonii 4”

Monstera adansonii brings a light, lush texture to your collection with green, heart-shaped leaves punctuated by natural oval openings. Often called the Swiss cheese vine, this tropical climber can trail gracefully from a shelf or grow upward on a trellis or moss pole. Its distinctive foliage and versatile growth habit make it a beautiful choice for adding greenery without a bulky footprint.

Care guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light supports healthy growth. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of potting mix feel dry. Allow excess water to drain, and never leave the pot standing in water.
• Soil: Use an airy, well-draining mix with ingredients such as potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite. Choose a pot with drainage holes.
• Humidity: Adapts to typical indoor conditions, but prefers moderate to high humidity. Keep away from drying vents.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts.
• Feeding: Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer at half strength monthly during active spring and summer growth. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
• Support: Let the vines trail, or provide a trellis or moss pole for climbing. A supported plant may develop larger leaves as it matures.
• Pet safety: Contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested. Keep away from pets and children.

Let the soil guide your watering schedule rather than watering on a fixed day. Consistently soggy soil can lead to root rot.
