Swiss Cheese Vine
Monstera adansonii
Easy-going and forgiving, a lovely one to live with.
- Light. Likes plenty of bright, indirect light, with the harsh midday sun kept off her leaves.
- Water. Likes a drink once the top inch of soil has dried out.
- Humidity. Happy in average household humidity.
- Soil. Wants a chunky, airy aroid mix so her roots can breathe.
- Growth. A fast, spirited grower, so give her room to spread or something to climb.
Best kept up high, out of reach of pets and children who like to nibble.
Bright indirect light keeps those fenestrations coming. Water when the top inch of soil dries out, roughly once a week. Appreciates humidity but tolerates average homes. Toxic to cats and dogs. Easy to care for.
