About
Also known as a Swiss Cheese Plant, M.adansonii features large deep-green heart-shaped leaves with many oval perforations, like its namesake. The leaves are thick and glossy, and the holes give them an intricate, lacy look. The perforations eventually will spread to split the leaves into sections. This Monstera is a vine that grows 3-5 feet long as a houseplant.
New leaf growth on young plants often lacks holes at first. Leaves are bright-green when they emerge and turn dark green later.
Monstera deliciosa is the more well-known Swiss Cheese Plant; it has massive leaves, greater growth, and more developed fenestrations that split the leaf. M.adansonii is petite compared to deliciosa, and its foliage is delicate.
Other Notes
Will grow up a moss pole or trellis easily. A climbing plant will produce larger foliage.
