Monstera Adansonii Bio
Native to Southern Mexico and Central America, Monstera Adansonii, also known as the Swiss cheese plant, is loved for its bright and forest green colored heart-shaped foliage. Its famously perforated leaves, called fenestrations, are a unique adaptation that let sunlight pass through its broad canopy and reach the forest floor. Their unique patterns are genetically predetermined when the leaf sprouts, and with time become larger and more common, while the leaves get larger and darker.
Light Instructions
Monstera Adansonii grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused, and can also adapt to spaces with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

Monstera Adansonii Care
On your Monstera Adansonii's first few days at home, it may lose one or two leaves as it adjusts to its new home. This is no reason for concern. Simply cut the leaf, and look forward to new and better-adjusted leaves.
To help it grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month. To maintain its aesthetic shape and height, you may periodically prune it to your liking. To grow it upwards instead of sideways, you may attach the leaves to a totem or moss pole and watch it grow tall.
