The Monstera Deliciosa Swiss Cheese Plant is known for its holes within its leaves that are said to help it survive its native rain forest conditions of heavy rains and strong winds. This attractive plant looks excellent indoors, locations such as the office, hallways, living rooms or in general where their needs are met!
The Monstera Deliciosa Swiss Cheese Plant does best in a bright room or in bright conditions with lots of shade. Direct sunlight will damage leaves whereas low light will slow growth. For watering, allow the top few inches to become dry to the touch before watering. This plant likes humidity so be sure to mist it.
About Our Plants
Our soil is custom blended and contains only the highest quality Canadian peat. We don’t try to cut cost with cheaper mixes. Additionally, all of our plants are grown with 100 to 180 day time release fertilizer so you won’t be running out of it just when the plants arrive. This is not the case with the quick release 30 day fertilizers that many other companies tend to use.
We do approximately 90% of our own liners. Since the cost is relatively inexpensive, we put twice as many liners in each container for many of the varieties. Accordingly, this makes for a much fuller plant.
All of our plants are given more than adequate spacing. For instance, most of the flowering bushes and trellis plants have 4 square feet of spacing. The Boston fern hanging baskets, for example, have 6 square feet. This allows our plants to grow as big and full as possible.
