The Monstera Deliciosa, better known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a popular and instantly recognisable houseplant, loved for its large, glossy green leaves with distinctive natural splits and holes. Its bold foliage brings a tropical feel to living rooms, offices and other bright indoor spaces.
Fast growing and easy to care for, Monstera Deliciosa develops larger, more dramatic foliage as it matures. Young plants often begin with solid, heart-shaped leaves, with the characteristic splits and holes developing as the plant grows. See more indoor plants.
- Distinctive foliage: large, glossy green leaves develop natural splits and holes as they mature
- Fast growing: develops into an impressive statement houseplant over time
- Beginner friendly: an easy-care choice that adapts well to indoor environments
- Natural climber: can be given support as it grows taller
- Choose your size: available in a 9cm or 12cm pot
Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration only and is not included.
As this is a natural product, every plant grows a little differently, so height, leaf shape and the number of split leaves will vary.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
