🌿 Monstera deliciosa is a bold and iconic houseplant, beloved for its dramatic foliage and tropical charm. Its large, glossy green leaves are deeply lobed and often perforated with natural holes, a striking feature that gives it a sculptural quality and has made it a favorite in modern interior design.

💚 As the plant matures, its leaves grow increasingly large—sometimes reaching up to 90 cm wide in the right conditions—and develop more pronounced splits and fenestrations. These not only look beautiful but also serve a purpose in nature, helping the leaves resist damage from heavy rain and wind in their native jungle habitats.

📏 Indoors, Monstera deliciosa can grow impressively tall, often reaching 1.5 to 2.5 meters with time and proper care. It’s a natural climber and benefits from a moss pole or support to encourage vertical growth and larger leaf development.

🌸 Though primarily admired for its foliage, this Monstera can flower in the right conditions—typically in tropical or greenhouse environments. The flower resembles that of a peace lily: a white to pale yellow spathe surrounding a central spadix, and it may bloom in late spring or summer. Interestingly, in its native habitat, this plant produces a fruit with a sweet, pineapple-banana-like aroma when ripe—hence the name “deliciosa”—though flowering and fruiting are rare indoors.

☀️ This plant thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can adapt to medium light levels. Too much direct sun can scorch its leaves, while too little light may limit its growth and leaf development. It enjoys a warm, humid environment, echoing its tropical roots.

💧 Watering should be moderate but consistent—allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so good drainage is essential. During the growing season, regular watering paired with occasional leaf misting helps keep the plant thriving and foliage looking fresh.

⚠️ Note: While beautiful, this plant is toxic if ingested, particularly to pets and small children, due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves and unripe fruit. Keep it out of reach to avoid any accidents.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 110 cm, measured including the pot; it comes with a moss pole and it is supplied in a 24 cm nursery pot.
