Monstera Adansonii "Monkey Mask Plant"

The Monstera Adansonii, also known as the Swiss Cheese Vine, is a fast-growing, vining houseplant loved for its unique, fenestrated leaves full of natural holes. Its tropical beauty and trailing or climbing growth make it a favorite for hanging baskets, trellises, or as a lush tabletop plant.

Key Features:

Size: Vines can grow up to 10 feet long indoors, making it perfect for trailing or climbing displays.

Growth: A fast-growing plant that thrives with proper support, such as a moss pole or trellis.

Pet Friendliness:

The Monstera Adansonii is not pet-friendly.  It contains calcium oxalates, which can be toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves.

Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Ensure proper drainage.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or more). Mist regularly or use a humidifier for best growth.

Temperature: Best kept in temperatures between 18–29°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 13°C.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning: Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth and maintain a fuller shape.
