Monstera Adansonii (Adanson's Monstera, Swiss Cheese Vine, Five Holes Plant)
The Monstera Adansonii is the playful cousin of the Monstera family, with its signature heart-shaped leaves covered in unique holes that give it its "Swiss Cheese" nickname. Native to South and Central America, this fast-growing vine loves to climb, making it perfect for a moss pole, trellis, or letting it trail from a hanging basket. It’s easy to care for and full of personality, making it a must-have for any plant enthusiast!
- Light Needs: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, but it’s adaptable to lower light conditions, although growth may slow.
- Watering Needs: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It likes consistent moisture but doesn’t tolerate soggy soil, so be sure it’s in a pot with good drainage.
- Humidity Needs: Loves high humidity, making it a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms, or spaces with a humidifier. Regular misting will help it thrive.
- Temperature Needs: Prefers warm temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F.
- Difficulty to Take Care Of: Easy. Its climbing nature and resilient attitude make it great for beginners and experienced plant parents alike.
- Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious animals and little ones.
The Monstera Adansonii is the perfect blend of quirky and classic. Whether you let it trail or climb, its iconic "cheesy" foliage brings a fun, tropical vibe to any room. Easy to grow and endlessly rewarding, this plant is sure to make a bold, playful statement in your home!
Customer Reviews
All my plants arrived safely and in good shape. They were even left on my doorstep on one of the coldest days that we had in a long time and the packaging ensured they were safe.
I couldn't be happier with my Swiss Cheese Monstera! It arrived in perfect condition—lush, vibrant, and so healthy. The packaging was secure, and the entire buying experience was so easy and shipping was much faster than I would have expected. I was nervous buying a plant for delivery in WI (in January!), but the Winter Plant Shipping Protection seemed to take care of my special leafy babe. Can't wait to make my next purchase, I think Plz Don't Die is gonna be my go-to site when I need a creative gift idea!
