The Monstera deliciosa, often called the "Split-Leaf Philodendron," is a striking houseplant that effortlessly infuses any home or office with lush, tropical vibes. Its iconic, fenestrated leaves—large and uniquely split—make it a captivating focal point in any room. While "Swiss Cheese Plant" is a nickname sometimes applied to this species, it is more commonly associated with the smaller-leaved Monstera adansonii, known for its pronounced oval holes. Regardless, the Monstera deliciosa's dramatic foliage and easy-care nature make it a favorite for plant lovers everywhere.
The Monstera deliciosa is renowned for its minimal care requirements and rapid growth. With the right conditions, this plant produces increasingly larger leaves with intricate fenestrations. Its bold greenery quickly becomes the centerpiece of your indoor jungle, transforming any space with its tropical charm.

One of the most fascinating features of the Monstera deliciosa is its fenestrated (split) leaves. As the plant matures, its foliage develops natural splits and holes, believed to help light filter through to lower leaves and make the plant more resilient to strong winds in its native habitat. This evolutionary trait adds both function and aesthetic appeal to the Monstera's unique charm.
Native to the tropical rainforests of Mexico and Panama, the Monstera deliciosa has captured hearts worldwide. Its name "deliciosa" refers to the edible fruit it produces in the wild, often called "Mexican breadfruit," which is prized for its sweet, pineapple-like flavor. Though fruiting indoors is rare, this plant remains an enduring favorite for its dramatic foliage and adaptability.

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location.
Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.
We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.
Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
