Botanically, this plant is known as Monstera deliciosa thanks to the ceriman, fruits with a pineapple-banana flavor, that it produces in its native habitat, the jungles of Central America. Young monstera plants are often mistaken for philodendrons since they have smaller, heart-shaped leaves that look different from those of a mature plant

Hardiness Zone

Outdoors, Monstera deliciosa is hardy only in USDA zones 10–12 where temperatures stay consistently warm. In all other regions, it is best grown indoors as a houseplant year-round. Monsteras that are planted outside of these zones may struggle to thrive.

Indoor Care

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but will tolerate moderate shade. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Higher humidity levels and occasional misting encourage larger, healthier leaves.

Growth & Maintenance

Monstera grows quickly and benefits from a moss pole or trellis for climbing support. Repotting every 1–2 years helps sustain growth and allows roots more room. Wiping leaves with a damp cloth will keep them dust-free and improve photosynthesis.

Pet Safety

Monstera deliciosa is considered toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets to prevent mouth irritation, drooling, or digestive upset.

Monstera is known to be toxic to pets

Monstera plants like slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. Most potting soil mixes have a pH close to 7.0 or slightly below as most houseplants prefer neutral (7.0) or slightly acidic soil to thrive. Monstera plants will, however, grow in average or neutral soil, although generally at a slower rate.

Monstera Deliciosa - Swiss Cheese Plant

This common houseplant is a liana epiphyte in its natural environment, clinging on the bark of trees with air roots that can reach over 70'ft in length. They have the ability to flower and produce fruit in the wild and rarely do so indoors. Their 'flower' is a fleshy, erect spadix/spike with tiny blooms encapsulated by a large creamy white spathe.
