Monstera deliciosa - Swiss Cheese Plant

Most of you will have heard of the Swiss Cheese Plant before which means it's a tried and tested plant. It's a highly sought-after houseplant that originates from the rainforests of Souther Mexico. It is known for its delicate, yet intricate leaves that feature unique perforations and fenestrations.

The plant features large, heart-shaped leaves with deep, irregular cuts or holes that resemble Swiss cheese - which gives it its common name. The leaves can grow up to three feet long and two feet wide, and are glossy and dark green in colour but in the home, leaf size is unlikely to get that large.

You can train this plant to grow up a pole - it will feel very at home that way as inn the wild it's often found growing up to 6m high - again unlikely in a typical home in the UK.

It's really easy to care for and falls into the Easy category so if you're looking for a house plant that's not just beautiful but adds a lot of greenery into any home, Monstera deliciosa could be just the one for you.
